Greek Letters

In Corca, Greek letters are structured mathematical objects. They behave like variables or symbols and can be edited, reused, and referenced throughout the document.

You create Greek letters by typing their names and selecting the appropriate suggestion.

Entering Greek letters

To insert a Greek letter, start typing its name. As you type, the suggestion list appears. Select the desired letter and continue working.

Type alpha, get α. The letter becomes a mathematical object inside the expression. You can immediately assign a value: α=2.

You can also enter greek letters by using the Symbols Palette on the right panel:

Uppercase and lowercase letters

Greek letters support both lowercase and uppercase forms. The case depends on how the name is typed.

Input	Result
alpha	α
beta	β
gamma	γ
theta	θ
omega	ω
Alpha	Α
Gamma	Γ
Delta	Δ
Sigma	Σ
Omega	Ω

Greek letters with indices

Greek letters can include subscripts or superscripts. This is commonly used for parameters, sequences, and labeled quantities. Use a _ after selecting a variable or add it using the right panel.

Examples:

(α_1)
(β_2)
(σ_total)
(μ_t)

Indexed notation remains fully editable.

Greek letters in imported content

Greek letters imported from LaTeX or other formats are converted into structured objects.

Input:

\alpha

Result:

Imported letters behave exactly like native ones.
