Features

In Greek language (and in others too) there are some vowels that when are accented they have a special treatment during pronouncing the word.

The Greek language has 7 vowels: α, ε, η, ι, ο, υ and ω and all of them may be accented.

The problem comes when an accented vowel gets capitalized. The accent is not removed making the all-capital word look ugly with unnecessary accents.

In Greek grammar, when a word is all-capital, all accents from vowels should be removed. Thus, making it look prettier.

The all-capital word is a common scenario in web pages, such as the navigation menu, call to action (CTA) buttons, some headings etc.

For example compare the word ΜΕΝΟΎ with ΜΕΝΟΥ (both means menu but former has accent on Υ and latter has not). Which is prettier for the web?

This package tries to solve this issue and remove the accent from vowels when are capitalized.
