quoth the daemon:
The following information was provided by the package's contributor.
Name of contribution: selnolig
Author's name: Mico Loretan
Author's email: loretan.mico(a)gmail.com
Package version: 0.256
Location on CTAN: macros/luatex/latex/selnolig/
Summary description: The 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 shelf/ful rather than as
shel{ff}ul. For English and German language documents, the package
provides extensive rules for the selective suppression of so-called
“common” ligatures. These comprise the ff, fi, fl, ffi, and ffl
ligatures as well as the ft and fft ligatures. Other f-ligatures, such
as fb, fh, fj and fk, are suppressed globally, while exceptions are made
for names and words of non-English/German origin, such as Kafka and
fjord. For English language documents, the package further provides
ligature suppression macros for a number of ! so-called “discretionary”
or “rare” ligatures such as ct, st, and sp. The package requires use of
a recent LuaLaTeX format (for example TeXLive2012 or 2013, or
MiKTeX2.9).
License type: lppl
Announcement text given by the package's contributor:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Updated rules for st and sp ligatures in composite words consisting of
prefix ending in s (such as mis, dis, and trans) and a main word
(free morpheme) starting with st or sp.
- In Appendix F (case studies of selnolig applied to various pieces of
literature), added tallies of words that that get their ligatures
suppressed for Faust 1 and Faust 2
- Shortened some sections of the user guide and expanded
others. There's now a (reasonably careful) discussion of why morpheme
boundaries rather than syllable boundaries matter for ligature
suppression purposes.
