+# Use `autotype` For Ligature Correction for German Documents
+
+## Context and Problem Statement
+

+* [`ligtype`](https://ctan.org/pkg/ligtype)
+* [`selnolig`](https://ctan.org/pkg/selnolig)
+
+## Decision Outcome
+
+Chosen option: "`autotype`", because has more features and seems to be more maintained.
