%\section{Introduction}
%
% The \textsf{xgreek} package provides rudimentary support for Greek language
% typesetting with \XeLaTeX and Lua\LaTeX. Users will be able to typeset documents in 
% either modern Greek (monotonic or polytonic) or ancient Greek by selecting the appropriate
% package option. The default ``language'' is monotonic Greek.  
%
% Support for Lua\LaTeX\ was provided by Javier Bezos. 
%
% \section{The Source Code of \textsf{xgreek}}
%
% According to the Unicode standard (\url{http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/UnicodeData.txt}), the uppercase form of the letter GREEK 
% SMALL LETTER EPSILON WITH TONOS is represented as the letter GREEK CAPITAL LETTER EPSILON WITH TONOS. However, this is incorrect according 
% to the grammar of the Greek language. When text is transformed into uppercase, all letters lose their accents. If a letter contains GREEK 
% DIALYTIKA TONOS, only the DIALYTIKA remain. Thus, the uppercase form of the letter GREEK SMALL LETTER IOTA WITH DIALYTIKA AND TONOS is the 
% letter GREEK CAPITAL LETTER IOTA WITH DIALYTIKA. Similarly, the uppercase form of the letter GREEK SMALL LETTER EPSILON WITH TONOS is the 
% letter GREEK CAPITAL LETTER EPSILON.
%
% For ancient Greek, a similar rule applies: all accents and breathings disappear, and only letters with DIALYTIKA retain them. For instance, 
% the uppercase form of the letter GREEK SMALL LETTER UPSILON WITH DIALYTIKA AND PERISPOMENI is the letter GREEK CAPITAL LETTER UPSILON WITH DIALYTIKA. 
% Furthermore, for any lowercase letter that has a GREEK YPOGEGRAMMENI, the corresponding uppercase letter is the one with a PROSGEGRAMMENI. For example, 
% the uppercase form of the letter GREEK SMALL LETTER ETA WITH OXIA AND YPOGEGRAMMENI is the letter GREEK CAPITAL LETTER ETA WITH PROSGEGRAMMENI.
%
% There is, however, one exception: the word GREEK SMALL LETTER ETA WITH PSILI AND OXIA (which is the equivalent of GREEK SMALL LETTER ETA WITH TONOS 
% in Modern Greek). This word corresponds to the English word ``or.'' To avoid confusion with the feminine article in the nominative case (i.e., the 
% letter GREEK SMALL LETTER ETA WITH DASIA), this article retains the accent in uppercase letters only text. Unfortunately, implementing this feature poses 
% challenges, as it would necessitate a rule of the form
%\begin{center}
% ``SPACE'' ``GREEK SMALL LETTER ETA WITH PSILI AND OXIA'' ``SPACE''\\ --->\\ ``SPACE'' ``GREEK CAPITAL LETTER ETA WITH OXIA'' ``SPACE''
%\end{center}
% 
% \LaTeX\ {\em blindly} follows the Unicode standard and so the command |\MakeUppercase| produces wrong output as far as the Greek language is concerned. 
% This is also the reason why I have put a lot of |\uccode| and |\lccode| pairs in the previous versions of this package to fix this problem. I very 
% recently noticed that the results from these commands are not as expected since the new implementation of |\MakeUppercase| command does not care about 
% these commands at all. Fortunately the person who did this re-implementation defined the new command |\DeclareUppercaseMapping| that maps the character 
% code of a lower case letter to the actual upper case character. The following commands implement the grammatical rules of the Greek language, except of 
% course for the rule for the Greek disjunctive conjunction.

% Next, I define a few macros that allow one to access characters
% that are not usually easily accessible from the keyboard (e.g., the sampi or the
% koppa symbol). The list includes a command for the Unicode symbol GREEK ANO TELEIA,
% which, in some systems, is confused with MIDDLE DOT. The use of command |\numer@lsign|
% will be explained later.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\anwtonos{ʹ} %GREEK NUMERAl SIGN

%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\stigma{στ\relax}
%    \end{macrocode}
% The following commands address the fundamental rules of typography. Note that the first command alters the way space is added after punctuation marks, 
% while the last two commands compel \LaTeX\ to include indentation space at the beginning of the first paragraph following a header. Since several users 
% require the ability to disable this specific feature for their own reasons, I have introduced a new package option called |noindentfirst|, which 
% restores the default behavior. To implement this, I need the original value of the boolean variable |\@afterindentfalse|.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\frenchspacing
\let\@saveafterindentfalse\@afterindentfalse
\let\@afterindentfalse\@afterindenttrue
\@afterindenttrue
%    \end{macrocode}
% Lua\LaTeX\ and \XeLaTeX\ have different ways to load hyphenation patterns. Package 
% \textsf{luahyphenrules} by Javier Bezos facilitates this process for people who
% want to use Lua\LaTeX\ and the ``traditional'' way to load hyphenation patterns. 
% To ensure proper inclusion of LuaTeX staff, I use the following ``idiom'':
% \begin{center}
% |\ifx\directlua\undefined |\texttt{\textit{non Lua\LaTeX\ code}}|\else |%
% \texttt{\textit{Lua\LaTeX\ code}}|\fi|
% \end{center} 
%    \begin{macrocode}
\ifx\directlua\undefined\else\RequirePackage{luahyphenrules}\fi
%    \end{macrocode}
% The code that follows specifies which hyphenation patterns will be active. The \XeLaTeX\ code
% is quite standard and depends on the \textsf{babel} pattern loading mechanism, while the
% Lua\LaTeX\ code uses the |\HyphenRules| macro, which has essentially the functionality 
% of the |\selectlanguage| macro.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\DeclareOption{monogreek}{%
   \ifx\directlua\undefined%
   \language\l@monogreek\else\HyphenRules{monogreek}\fi%
}
\DeclareOption{polygreek}{%
   \ifx\directlua\undefined%
   \language\l@polygreek\else\HyphenRules{polygreek}\fi%
   \polytonicn@mes%
   \let\gr@month\gr@c@month%
}
\DeclareOption{ancientgreek}{%
   \ifx\directlua\undefined%
   \language\l@ancientgreek\else\HyphenRules{ancientgreek}\fi%
   \@ncientn@mes%
   \let\gr@month\gr@c@month%
}
%    \end{macrocode}
% If a user wants to use the stigma symbol in Greek numerals, she should use the
% |stigma| option.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\DeclareOption{stigma}{%
   \def\stigma{\char"03DB\relax}
}
%    \end{macrocode}
% As noted above, the new option |noindentfirst| restores the default \LaTeX\ behavior of adding no 
% indentation to the first paragraph after any header. 
%    \begin{macrocode}
\DeclareOption{noindentfirst}{%
   \let\@afterindentfalse\@saveafterindentfalse
}
%    \end{macrocode}
% Nowadays it is customary in Greece to use Greek numerals without the GREEK NUMERAL SIGN at the end
% of a numeral. Thus, the |nonumeralsign| option disables the typesetting of the GREEK NUMERAL SIGN
% at the end of Greek numerals. 
%    \begin{macrocode}
\DeclareOption{nonumeralsign}{%
   \let\numer@lsign\relax
}
%    \end{macrocode}
%  Package \textsf{listings} does not work properly with UTF-8 encoded files. So this
% option should be used whenever one wants to use this package and see Greek text come out
% correctly. In version 3.1.0 of this package, I included code that modified the source code of 
% package \textsf{listings}. However, this decision was wrong. In particular, when one did not use 
% the corresponding \texttt{listings} option, processing of the input file stopped with an error message 
% about a text line that contains an invalid character. So the best way to solve this problem was to move 
% the code to a different file and create essentially a new package. This package is automatically loaded 
% when the user pecifies the \texttt{listings} option. To make this possible, I used a boolean 
% variable.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newif\if@mylistings
\@mylistingsfalse
\DeclareOption{listings}{\@mylistingstrue}
%    \end{macrocode}
% By default the |monogreek| option is activated. 
%    \begin{macrocode}
\ExecuteOptions{monogreek}
\ProcessOptions
%    \end{macrocode}
% If the user has enabled the |listings| option, then the package loads the package \textsf{xelistings}.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\if@mylistings
\RequirePackage{xelistings}
\fi
%    \end{macrocode}
% Now I am going to define the macros that typeset alphabetic Greek numerals. The code 
% is borrowed from the Greek option for the babel package.
%  \begin{macro}{\gr@ill@value}
%    When the argument of |\greeknumeral| has a value outside of the
%    acceptable bounds ($0 < x < 999999$) a warning will be issued
%    (and nothing will be printed).
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\gr@ill@value#1{%
  \PackageWarning{xgreek}{Illegal value (#1) for greeknumeral}}
%    \end{macrocode}
%  \end{macro}
%  \begin{macro}{\anw@true}
%  \begin{macro}{\anw@false}
%  \begin{macro}{\anw@print}
% When printing a large number with three \emph{trailing} zeros, those zeros \emph{and} the numeric mark must be discarded. 
% Since each digit is processed by a separate macro \emph{and} the processing needs to be expandable, we require helper macros to 
% ensure that the numeric mark (|\numer@lsign|) is not printed.
%
% The command |\anw@false| disables the printing of the numeric mark by making |\anw@print| expand to nothing. Conversely, the command 
%|\anw@true| (re)enables the printing of the numeric mark. These macros must be robust to prevent improper expansion during file writing or 
% when using |\uppercase|.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\DeclareRobustCommand\anw@false{%
  \DeclareRobustCommand\anw@print{}}
\DeclareRobustCommand\anw@true{%
  \DeclareRobustCommand\anw@print{\numer@lsign}}
\anw@true
%    \end{macrocode}
%  \end{macro}
%  \end{macro}
%  \end{macro}
%
%  \begin{macro}{\@greeknumeral}
%    This command is used to get Greek numerals. The command uses
%    |\numer@lsign| to get the NUMERAL SIGN. Obviously, when the
%    user has specified the \texttt{no\-numeral\-sign} option, then numeral
%    comes out without the trailing NUMERAL SIGN. However, when a user
%    wants to typeset a Greek numeral, the numeral must come out correctly,
%    regardless of what appears in headers, etc. And that is exactly the
%    reason why this command is inaccessible to users.
%    The command |\@greeknumeral| needs to be \emph{fully} expandable
%    in order to get the right information in auxiliary
%    files. Therefore we use a big |\if|-construction to check the
%    value of the argument and start the parsing at the right level.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\@greeknumeral#1{%
%    \end{macrocode}
%    If the value is negative or zero nothing is printed and a warning

%    What is left to make complete the definition of command |\greeknumeral| is a set of macros to produce

%  \begin{macro}{\gr@num@i}
%  \begin{macro}{\gr@num@ii}
%  \begin{macro}{\gr@num@iii}
%    As there is no ``digit'' representing $0$ in this system, the zeros
%    are simply discarded. When there is a large number with three
%    \emph{trailing} zeros also the numeric mark is discarded. 
%    Therefore these macros need to pass the information to each other
%    about the (non-)translation of a zero.

%    The command |\@Greeknumeral| prints uppercase Greek numerals.

%
% The alphabetic numbering system is not the only numbering system employed by Greeks.
% In fact, Greeks used various systems that are now known as {\em acrophonic} numbering
% systems. Many scholars are familiar with the acrophonic Attic numbering system and the
% the command |\atticnum| can be used to generate acrophonic Attic numerals.  
% The acrophonic Attic numbering system, like the Roman one, employs
% letters to denote important numbers. Multiple occurrence of a letter denote
% a multiple of the ``important'' number, e.g., the letter Ι denotes 1, so
% ΙΙΙ denotes 3. Here are the basic digits used in the acrophonic Attic numbering
% system:
% \begin{itemize}
%  \item Ι denotes the number one (1)
%  \item Π denotes the number five (5)
%  \item Δ denotes the number ten (10)
%  \item Η denotes the number one hundred (100)
%  \item Χ denotes the number one thousand (1000)
%  \item Μ denotes the number ten thousands (10000)
%\end{itemize}
% Moreover,  the letters Δ, Η, Χ, and Μ under the letter ^^^^^^010143 (a form of Π)
% denote five times their original value. In particular, the symbol ^^^^^10144, denotes 
% the number 50, the symbol ^^^^^10145 denotes the number 500, the symbol ^^^^^10146
% denotes the number 5000, and the symbol ^^^^^10147 denotes the number 50,000. It 
% must be noted that the numbering system does not provide negative numerals or a symbol for
% zero. 
%\begin{macro}{\@@atticnum}            
% Now, let me definite the macro 
% |\@@atticnum|. This macro uses one integer variable (or counter in 
% \TeX's jargon.)
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcount\@attic@num
%    \end{macrocode}
% The macro |\@@atticnum| is also defined as a robust command.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\DeclareRobustCommand*{\@@atticnum}[1]{%
%    \end{macrocode}
% After assigning to variable |\@attic@num| the value of the macro's argument, 
% we make sure that the argument is in the expected range, i.e., it is greater
% than zero, and less or equal to $249999$.  In case it is not, it simply 
% produces a |\space|, warns the user about it and quits. Although, the
% |\atticnum| macro is capable to produce an Athenian numeral for even greater
% intergers, the following argument by Claudio Beccari convinced me to place
% this upper limit:
% \begin{quote} 
% According to psychological perception studies (that ancient Athenians
% and Romans perfectly knew without needing to study Freud and Jung)
% living beings (which includes at least all vertebrates, not only
% humans) can perceive up to four randomly set objects of the same kind   
% without the need of counting, the latter activity being a specific
% acquired ability of human kind; the biquinary numbering notation
% used by the Athenians and the Romans exploits this natural
% characteristic of human beings.
% \end{quote}
%    \begin{macrocode}
        \@attic@num#1\relax
        \ifnum\@attic@num<\@ne%
          \space%

          Value too large (\the\@attic@num) for acrophonic 
          Attic numeral}%
        \else
%    \end{macrocode}
% Having done all the necessary checks, it is possible to proceed with the actual
% computation. If the number is greater than $49999$, then it certainly
% has at least one ^^^^^10147 ``digit''. The macro finds all such digits by continuously
% subtracting $50000$ from |\@attic@num|, until |\@attic@num| becomes less than
% $50000$. 
%    \begin{macrocode}
            \@whilenum\@attic@num>49999\do{%

               M\advance\@attic@num-\@M}%
%    \end{macrocode}
% Since a number can have only one ^^^^^10146 ``digit'' (equivalent to 5000), it 
% is easy to check whether is should have one and produce the corresponding numeral when
% it does have one.
%    \begin{macrocode}
            \ifnum\@attic@num>4999%

               Χ\advance\@attic@num-\@m}%
%    \end{macrocode} 
% Since a numeral can have at most one ^^^^^10145 ``digit'' (equivalent to 500), this should be
% handled the way the macro handled the case of the five thousands ``digit''.
%    \begin{macrocode}
            \ifnum\@attic@num>499%

% It is time to check hundreds, which follow the same pattern as thousands.
%    \begin{macrocode}

               Η\advance\@attic@num-100}%

% A numeral can have only one ^^^^^10144 ``digit'' (equivalent to 50).
