{Selective ligature suppression with the \code{selnolig} package}
{Mico Loretan}
{\TeX\ has long provided straightforward methods for creating typographic
ligatures. Until recently, though, suppressing inappropriate ligatures
selectively could only be achieved by applying mark-up by hand to a
document. \code{selnolig}, a Lua\LaTeX\ package, provides the machinery to
perform selective ligature suppression in an automated way that requires
minimal user involvement. The package also provides sets of ligature
suppression rules for English and German language documents. The talk
provides an overview of the package's design philosophy and main
features, discusses some of its current limitations, and gives the
outlook for further developments.
