Abstract
Use \alpha, \beta, ... for Greek letters in text and math mode.
Motivation
By default, the \alpha, \beta, ... macros for Greek letters are only valid in mathematical mode.
With this package, the math macros are redefined to work in both, text and math mode, so that Greek letters can be specified with the established command names in text, too.
The package works with both, 8-bit TeX as well as Xe/LuaTeX. Under 8-bit TeX, literal Unicode characters can be used for Greek symbols in mathematical formulas.
Usage
\usepackage[<options>]{alphabeta}The package provides the same options as textalpha.
Conflicts
alphabeta does not work if the utf8x input encoding is selected. (utf8x is an interface to the ucs package which uses a non-compatible definition of \DeclareUnicodeCharacter.)
For details see alphabeta-doc.tex and alphabeta-doc.pdf.
Implementation
Identification
\NeedsTeXFormat{LaTeX2e}
\ProvidesPackage{alphabeta}
[2023-11-16 2.6 macros for Greek letters in text and math]
Requirements
This package extends the textalpha package. (Just like alphabeta, textalpha is part of greek-fontenc.) Package options are passed on to textalpha:
\RequirePackageWithOptions{textalpha}
This package requires the e-TeX extensions (i.e. a not too old TeX distribution) for the \ifdefined test.
It uses the \TextOrMath test (in the LaTeX kernel since 2015). In case of an \TextOrMath undefined error, load the fixltx2e package.
Postpone the re-definitions
To prevent other packages overwriting the re-defined commands we postpone the next steps until the start of the document body:

Commands to access Greek letters by name
For letters defined in math mode, the commands work in both, text and math.
Some Greek letters look identical to Latin letters and can therefore not be used as variable symbols in math formulas. These letters are not defined in TeX’s math mode, we provide an alias to the corrsponding \text... command.
Mathematical notation distinguishes variant shape symbols for pi, phi, rho, theta (small and capital), beta, and kappa (characters for the latter three symbols are not included in TeX’s math fonts). These variations have no syntactic meaning in Greek text and are not given code-points in the LGR encoding while Unicode defines separate code points for the symbol variants.
Greek Alphabet
Macros keep their meaning in mathematical mode (i.e. use the same shape as without this package) and refer to GREEK LETTER … in text. For \epsilon and phi, this means that the selected symbol variant differs in text vs. math mode. Use \varepsilon and \varphi (see section variant shape symbols below) to select the “GREEK LETTER …” in both, text and math mode.
Macros for letters that can take diacritical marks and are used in text and math mode must be made robust to ensure the selection of pre-composed characters and correct case changes with \MakeUppercase and \MakeLowercase. We use \DeclareRobustCommand because \renewrobustcmd from the etoolbox leads to errors in PDF-strings.

Variant shape symbols
TeX’s concept of “standard” vs. “variant” math symbols does not map to the distinction between GREEK LETTER … vs. GREEK … SYMBOL in the Unicode standard (see test-tuenc-greek.pdf).
The \...symbol macros select the GREEK … SYMBOL in both, text and math mode. For \epsilonsymbol and \phisymbol this is the default shape in math mode. The \var... macros select the shape used by TeX math (or, if not supported, the SYMBOL shape):
% ..symbol == var..

\providecommand*{\pisymbol}{\varpi} % ϖ

TextCompositeCommands for the letter-name macros
The NFSS TextComposite mechanism looks for the next token without expanding it. In order to let compositions like \ensuregreek{\'\Alpha} or \ensuregreek{\>"\alpha} work as expected we define TextComposites with the letter name commands.
TextCompositeCommands are always specific for the font-encoding. Documents may use TU, LGR, and PU in parallel. We define auxiliary commands with definitions that are required by more than one font encoding.
Select pre-composed characters.
Required by LGR and PU.
With TU, most pre-composed characters are selected by the the engine. (Actually by the Harfbuzz renderer which is default for XeTeX and can be selected with fontspec for LuaTeX).

Drop “capital” accents
Definitions in babel-greek let \MakeUppercase convert standard accents \', \` ``, ``\~, and \" to “capital” versions.

Case changing
We need to extend the case-mapping \@uclclist for characters that are defined with \DeclareTextCommandDefault.
The definition of an auxiliary, self-resetting macro makes this idempotent (only the first use of this function will expand the @uclclist). The second and third lines are TeX’s way of writing @uclclist += ….
Since 2022, \MakeUppercase expects the default for ambiguous mappings in first position, before, the default was in last position.
\providecommand*\alphabeta@update@uclclist{%
\expandafter\def\expandafter\@uclclist\expandafter{%
\@uclclist
\alpha \Alpha
\epsilon \Epsilon
\epsilonsymbol \Epsilon
\varepsilon \Epsilon
\eta \Eta
\iota \Iota
\omicron \Omicron
\rho \Rho
\varrho \Rho
\rhosymbol \Rho
\upsilon \Upsilon
\omega \Omega
% repeat default for pre-2022 \MakeUppercase
\epsilon \Epsilon
\rho \Rho
}%
\let\alphabeta@update@uclclist\relax
}
Expand the @uclclist using the just defined macro:
\alphabeta@update@uclclist
Re-definition for Greek Unicode input in math mode
