-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 shelf\/ful rather than as shel{ff}ul.
+The selnolig package suppresses typographic ligatures selectively, i.e., based

+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,
+i.e., without the ff ligature.
-For English and German language documents, the selnolig 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 making exceptions for names and words of non-English/German origin, such as Kafka and fjord.
