<?tklig>
Description
Allows you define the type of ligatures that should be applied to the text in a document. You can specify the following two levels of ligature:
1. System ligatures only: system ligatures include character access ligatures, essentially map characters from the font to PTC ALD , e.g. Á is, technically, a ligature. This level of ligature is always on and cannot be deactivated. With this option, any ligatures applied with <?tklgp> are overridden.
2. System ligatures + group ligatures: ligatures groups enabled via <?tklgp> are applied as well as system ligatures.
Syntax
<?tklig simple ligatures:o?>
<?tklig>
[no parameter]
Invoke the Ligatures - on/off (simple) dialog box.
simple ligatures

Permit system ligatures only, do not allow ligature groups 2+ to be used when defined via <?tklgp>.
 
The ligatures applied with this option are not, however, ligatures in the commonly-understood sense. <?tklig 0> is actually the equivalent of turning ligatures off with <?tklgp 1>
1
Allow ligature groups 2+ to be used when defined via <?tklgp>.
