Hi, I want to follow up on my own message below. I got the hint offlist that it should not be too difficult to convert a LaTeX package into a ConTeXt module. So I guess that there is no built-in functionality of semantical switching between ligatures and normal characters. I am not a typographer – maybe I am wrong – but I don't like ligatures in the wrong places. Inserting ligature stoppers by hand is a tedious work. The latex package selnoligs was beneficial to me when I made a book with more than 1000 pages, where I would never managed to stop ligatures by hand. So what is your opinion about such a feature? juh Am 30.07.2015 um 15:10 schrieb juh:
Hi,
I use the package "selnoligs.sty" in LuaLaTeX to selectively suppress ligatures.
From the selnolig package description:
"The selnolig package suppresses typographic ligatures selectively, i.e., based on predefined search patterns. The search patterns focus on ligatures deemed inappropriate because they span morpheme boundaries. For example, the word shelfful, which is mentioned in the TEXbook as a word for which the ff ligature might be inappropriate, is automatically typeset as shelfful rather than as shelfful."
This works with LuaLaTeX:
\documentclass{article} \usepackage{fontspec} \usepackage[ngerman]{selnolig}
\begin{document}
Auflage (no ligature)
Abfluss (ligature)
Auffahrt (no ligature)
Schiffe (ligature)
\end{document}
How can I achieve the same in ConTeXt?
This does not work:
\mainlanguage[de]
\starttext \language[de]
Auflage
Abfluss
Auffahrt
Schiffe
\stoptext
