{{hatnote|'''This template is only for tagging [[Modern Greek]] text.''' For Ancient Greek, see {{tlx|lang-grc}}; for Medieval Greek, see {{tlx|lang-gkm}}. For custom labels, no labels, or other uses, see {{tlx|lang}}.}}

==Usage==
{{#invoke:Lang/documentor tool|lang_xx_settings|template={{ROOTPAGENAME}}}}
The primary objective of this template (and of the other {{tlx|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 helps 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'' (e.g.: "Ancient Greek:" vs. "Greek:" vs. "Modern Greek"), this template will ''always'' wrap the supplied Greek text inside of appropriate HTML {{tag|span}} tags – that is to say that the Greek text will be tagged using the [[ISO 639-1]] language code for '''Modern Greek''':  "'''el'''". The following example wikicode:
::{{tlc|lang-el|άτομο}}
produces the following HTML:
::<code><nowiki><a href="/wiki/Greek language" title="Greek language">Greek</a>:</nowiki></code>
::<code><nowiki><span </nowiki>'''lang="el" xml:lang="el"'''<nowiki>>άτομο</span></nowiki></code>

This [[metadata]] identifies the enclosed text as Modern Greek for the benefit of search engines, browsers, screen readers, translators, typesetters, and so on. To these "non-human readers", Modern Greek (encoded as "el") has important distinctions from e.g. Ancient Greek (appropriately encoded using "grc" by other {{tlx|lang}} templates). '''For that reason, this template should never be used with Ancient or Medieval or other Greek text'''.

== Parameters ==
{{#lst:Template:Lang-x/doc/parameters|lang_xx_parameters}}

==Syntax==
:'''<nowiki>{{lang-el</nowiki>'''
::'''|{{var|Modern Greek text}}''' – using the Greek alphabet (with [[Greek diacritics|diacritics]]). ''(mandatory)''
::'''|{{var|<nowiki>links=value</nowiki>}}''' – valid values: '''yes''' to have the language name linked (default) and '''no''' to prevent the language name from being linked. '' (optional)''
::'''|{{var|<nowiki>lit=string</nowiki>}}''' – valid strings are English phrases of the Greek text. ''(optional)''
::'''|{{var|<nowiki>translit=string</nowiki>}}''' – valid strings are transliterations (with the [[Latin script]]) of Greek text. ''(optional)''
:'''<nowiki>}}</nowiki>'''
