autotype – A LuaLaTeX package for automatic language-specific typography
autotype is a LuaLaTeX package for automatic language-specific typography. Currently, only the German language is supported (old and new orthography). The package makes it possible to suppress ligatures at word boundaries, to activate a hyphenation algorithm that prefers hyphenation points at word boundaries (weighted hyphenation), to enable irregular hyphenations like backen → bak-ken, Schiffahrt → Schiff-fahrt of traditional German orthography, and to insert long s for blackletter typesetting.
