Subject: greek letters in html

You can use HTML "character entities" such as
&alpha; &beta; &gamma;  and
&Alpha; &Beta; &Gamma;  etc.
Most browsers will render these properly, but it
you may have to use the <FONT> tag as well.
It is possible for users to override any
<FONT> you have specified.  There is no
way to absolutely guarantee the greek letters
(or any character, actually) will be rendered
as you intended it.

As for a reference, I find the O'Reilly books
excellent, for example "Dynamic HTML" by
Danny Goodman has a table of character
entities on page 1018.

Try this link as well.
