Texmaker and TeXstudio ⇒ Writing Greek

[Paul82]

Hello everyone,

I'm new to TeXmaker and I'm not sure how to write in Greek. When I compile, it shows nothing. I'm using Windows 7, MiKTeX 2.9 and TeXmaker. I also have chosen UTF-8, and neither Arial nor Times New Roman work for me. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi.
In order to write Greek you can use the math environment.
Here is an example:

Code: Select all

1
The variable $\alpha$ is the entrainment coefficient, when $\Gamma \ll 1$ the plume is lazy.

Hi Paul,

welcome to the LaTeX community!

I'm new to TeXmaker and I'm not sure how to write in Greek.

Do you mean Greek text or single Greek letters like they're used as variables in maths?

When I compile, it shows nothing. I'm using Windows 7, MiKTeX 2.9 and TeXmaker.

Could you show us a minimal version of your document that shows nothing, i.e., a minimal working example? If we can see compilable code we may be able to see the cause for your issues.

I also have chosen UTF-8, and neither Arial nor Times New Roman work for me. Any help would be appreciated.

I am not sure Arial or Times New Roman even have Greek letters. They're not typically used in LaTeX, anyway.

Regards
