NAME
rmligs-german - remove incorrectly used ligatures from German LaTeX
documents
SYNOPSIS
rmligs-german [options] FILE(s) ...
DESCRIPTION
rmligs-german is a program for removing incorrectly used ligatures from
LaTeX documents. This version is intended for German language texts
only. Words like `Auflage´ e.g. will be changed to `Auf"|lage´ which is
typographically correct.
The wordlist data is based on the igerman98 dictionary.
The input data may be ISO-8859-1/15 or UTF-8 encoded text. Also the
German LaTeX like encoding of umlauts ("a, "u etc.) is treated
correctly.
OPTIONS
--filter, -f
filter mode. This is useful for streaming.
--test, -t
test mode. This just shows what would be changed but
nothing will be written (read-only). This does not make
sense in filter mode.
--interactive, -i
prompt before applying changes
--quiet, -q
quiet operation
SEE ALSO
The German language /usr/share/doc/rmligs-
german/README.ligatures file from the documentation of this
program,
Duden (the German´s orthography bible),
nice and mostly older hand-set books
BUGS
There is no sanity checking of LaTeX files; rmligs-german will
happily correct words in all files - even binaries! For safety
reasons there is always a .bak file created.
checking latin1 text in UTF-8 locales might throw out some error
messages about malformed UTF-8 but that does not matter - the
file is processed correctly.
