Usage
This template is for tagging Medieval Greek (about 600-1500 AD) text only! – for Modern Greek, see {{lang-el}} instead. For custom labels, no labels, or other uses, see {{lang}}.
The primary objective of this template (and of the other {{lang}} templates) is to tag non-English text so that both human and machine readers are able to properly interpret, display and understand non-English text as part of an effort to move towards a semantic web. To that end, proper use of these templates help web browsers to choose the correct display font, text-to-speech screen readers to select a more appropriate pronunciation, search engines to better index and relate the context of the content, translation services to properly interpret the words, spell checkers to properly allow and/or require diacritics, and so on.
Important metadata
Regardless of the label that is displayed in front of the text (i.e: "Medieval Greek:" vs. "Greek"), this template will always wrap the supplied Medieval Greek text inside of appropriate HTML <span>...</span> tags – that is to say that the Medieval Greek text will be tagged using the ISO-639-3 language code for Medieval Greek: "gkm". The following example wikicode:
{{lang-gkm|Συρακοῦσαι|Surakoũsai|Syracuse}}
produces the following HTML:
<a href="/wiki/Medieval_Greek" title="Medieval Greek">Medieval Greek</a>:- <span lang="gkm" xml:lang="gkm">Συρακοῦσαι</span>
- <span title="Medieval Greek transliteration" class="Unicode" style="white-space:normal; text-decoration: none"><i>Surakoũsai</i></span>
"Syracuse"
This metadata identifies the enclosed text as Medieval Greek for the benefit of search engines, browsers, screen readers, translators, typesetters, and so on. To these "non-human readers", Medieval Greek (encoded as "gkm") has important distinctions from Modern Greek (appropriately encoded using "ell", "gre" or "grk" by other {{lang}} templates). For that reason, this template should never be used with Modern Greek text.
