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.
