From this [github issue](https://github.com/JuliaLang/IJulia.jl/issues/202) we see that insertion of Greek letters into IJulia is possible. However the `\alpha` followed by `tab` doesn’t seem to work on [Juliabox.com](http://Juliabox.com).

Is it possible to insert/type Greek letters in [Jlaibox.com](http://Jlaibox.com)

To answer my own question, it actually does work on [Juliabox.com](http://Juliabox.com), one just has to wait a couple of seconds…
