Hi,
in German typography, ligatures are disabled at boundaries between what used to be independent words (Wortfugen). Thusly, in a correct German text, you'd find
Anflug (with fl-ligature) but
Auf| lage (without ligature).
I know that I can prevent a ligature with something like Auf\/lage or even Auf|*|lage. However, I typeset from xml and would much rather have a general solution so I can leave my generated xml files alone. Something like a list where I could list "ligature exceptions" the way we have a file with hyphenation exceptions. Is anything like this possible?
This has been asked on tex stackexchange. One option is to use the translate module: http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/37465/323 http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/28746/323 Aditya
