Sample web page created with Nanos, containing Greek and Latin-alphabet text:

ΙΛΙΑΔΟΣ Α

Μῆνιν ἄειδε, θεά, Πηληϊάδεω Ἀχιλῆος
οὐλομένην, ἣ μυρί' Ἀχαιοῖς ἄλγε' ἔθηκε,
πολλὰς δ' ἰφθίμους ψυχὰς Ἄϊδι προΐαψεν
ἡρώων, αὐτοὺς δὲ ἑλώρια τεῦχε κύνεσσιν
οἰωνοῖσί τε δαῖτα. Διὸς δ' ἐτελείετο βουλὴ
ἐξ οὗ δὴ τὰ πρῶτα διαστήτην ἐρίσαντε
Ἀτρεΐδης τε ἄναξ ἀνδρῶν καὶ δῖος Ἀχιλλεύς.

Iliad
Book One

The anger, goddess, sing, of Peleus' son, Achilles,
the murderous anger that brought endless pain over the Achaeans,
that hurled many strong souls down to hell,
souls of heroes, and turned their bodies into food for dogs,
carrion for vultures. But the will of God was fulfilled
from the day when for the first time those two came into conflict --
Atreus' son, ruler of men, and godlike Achilles.

This is a very simple example of a text-only web page containing mixed Greek and non-Greek text.
It was written entirely within Nanos.
To enter the Greek text, the keyboard layout (of the operating system) was set to Greek. Characters with diacritics were fetched from the Nanos Virtual Keyboard (the "soft keyboard" on the Nanos screen), by doing single mouse-clicks on the ready-made precomposite characters available there.
To enter the Latin-alphabet text, the keyboard layout (of the operating system) was set to English.
The file was then saved with the .htm extension. No special file type had to be specified. The default file type in Nanos is UTF-8, so we just had to use the standard saving procedure in Nanos to generate a web page in the standard UTF-8 format. Ready for uploading to the web, or for embellishing in a web design package like Dreamweaver, Golive, or the one that comes with OpenOffice!

Feel free to use this page as a starting point for your own Greek web work.
