SYNOPSISrmligs [options] FILE(s) ...
DESCRIPTIONrmligs 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 typo‐
graphically 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 cor‐
rectly.
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

BUGS
There is no sanity checking of LaTeX files; rmligs 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.
