#' Function that returns strings with Greek letters
#'
#' Function to obtain strings with Greek letters and mathematical symbols
#' with or without subscripts and superscripts.
#'
#'
#' @param greekletter is a string that contains the Greek letter name.
#'
#'
#' @returns Returns the desired Greek letter or mathematical symbol in string format.
#'
#' @details
#'
#' It is recommended that the font size of the R console be increased for
#' better visualization of the symbols,
#' as some of the symbols are quite small.
#'
#' The subscripts and supersripts are restricted to numbers 0 to 9.
#'
#' For users working with Rgui this function don't accept subscripts and just accept superscripts 1, 2 and 3. For more details run the commands:

#' symbols printed as a "rectangle" don't work in RGui, but these symbols work normally in RStudio.

#' Print all Greek letters and mathematical symbols names

#' Function to Print all Greek letters and mathematical symbols names.
#'
#'
#' @export
#'
#' @returns Print all Greek letters and mathematical symbols names.
#'
#' @details
#'
#' It is recommended that the font size of the R console be increased for
#' better visualization of the symbols,
#' as some of the symbols are quite small.
#'
#' The subscripts and supersripts are restricted to numbers 0 to 9.
#'
#' Symbols printed as a "rectangle" don't work in RGui, but these symbols work normally in RStudio.
