Re: [NTG-context] Summing up ligature prevention tests

24 Mar 2021

      So, what's the general recommendation? Which approach is the best in your opinion? (In case it's the \replaceword approach: do you think you'll have time to look into this?) 

I've seen in an older thread that the best way to deal with this would be in the hyphenator. What do you think about this now, a couple of years later?

And, while we're at it: how do you deal with words like "begrifflich" where you'll want the ff ligature, but not the ffl ligature.
I've tried this
\replaceword[ligs][begrifflich][begri{ffl}ich]
But this breaks the ligature completely. 
\replaceword[ligs][begrifflich][begrif{fl}ich] is not correct either (doesn't do anything).

Or with exceptions:
\startexceptions[de]
begri{ff-}{l}{ffl}(ff\zwnj l)ich
\stopexceptions

But that also breaks the ligature completely.

Anything, I've missed? Other aspects to think about here? How about
performance issues? (The blockligatures-mechanism resulted in this:
with a word list of about 2200 words it took a bit more than five
seconds to process 23 A5 pages than 2.5 seconds without the blocked
ligatures. I'll test with the other methods later or tomorrow.)
of course there is always more:
\starttext
{effie}
     {ef{\norightligaturing f}ie}
     {ef{\noleftligaturing f}ie}
     {ef{\noleftligaturing\norightligaturing f}ie}
     {ef{\noligaturing f}ie}
     {\noligaturing effie}
\stoptext
(con)tex(t) is all about control (and secret features),
(and yes: there's also \noleftkerning etc)
