| This is a documentation subpage for Template:Lang-grc. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
| Notice | This template should not be used in citation templates such as Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2, because it includes markup that will pollute the COinS metadata they produce; see Wikipedia:COinS. |

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.: "Ancient Greek:" vs. "Greek"), this template will always wrap the supplied Ancient Greek text inside of appropriate HTML <span>...</span> tags – that is to say that the Ancient Greek text will be tagged using the ISO 639-2 and ISO-639-3 language code for Ancient Greek: "grc". The following example wikicode:
{{lang-grc|ἄτομος|átomos|indivisible, an atom}}
produces the following HTML:
<a href="/wiki/Ancient_Greek" title="Ancient Greek">Ancient Greek</a>:<span lang="grc" xml:lang="grc">ἄτομος</span><span title="Ancient Greek transliteration" class="Unicode" style="white-space:normal; text-decoration: none"><i>átomos</i></span>"indivisible, an atom"
This metadata identifies the enclosed text as Ancient Greek for the benefit of search engines, browsers, screen readers, translators, typesetters, and so on. To these "non-human readers", Ancient Greek (encoded as "grc") 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 or Medieval or other Greek text.
