If possible, reviews should be submitted as plain text files following the HTML conventions. The most important of these are <i> (before the text) and </i> (after the text) to indicate italics.
(9) In the electronic versions of the review, Greek text is given in the 'beta' transliteration scheme adopted by the TLG. Details of this scheme are given below.

THE BETA TRANSLITERATION SCHEME (Slightly modified)

Alpha = A, d
Beta = B, b
Gamma = G, g
Delta = D, d
Epsilon = E, e

Iota = I, i
Iota subscript = |
Kappa = K, k
Lambda = L, l
Mu = M, m
Nu = N, n
Xi = C, c

Pi = P, p
Rho = R, r
Sigma = S, s
Final sigma = J, j

Breathings:

Smooth = )
Rough = (

Accents:

Acute = /

NB: Accents and breathings follow the vowel to which they belong, except for capitals.
