Usage
[edit]This template decodes a string given as (modified) w:Beta Code into normal polytonic Greek. This is useful for polytonic Greek input where you do not have an efficient polytonic input method.
The output is wrapped in the standard {{polytonic}} template, thus it sets the lang=grc attribute as usual (and as is good practice for accessibility).
The syntax is slightly modified to accommodate the Wikicode special characters = and |: these can also be written as ~ and ! respectively.
Example
{{betacode|1=O(ra=n fa/os h)eli/os}}
Ὁρᾶν φάος ἠελίος
The order for the marks is: (1) letter, (2) breathing (), (3) accent /=\+, (4) iota subscript |.
Final sigma (ς) is automatic when s occurs at the end of a word, and can be manually invoked with j.
