DESCRIPTION
    This is a Template::Toolkit plug-in to filter text, replacing sequences
    of characters with corresponding typographic ligatures using
    Text::Ligature.

    When using this filter in HTML templates, one of the following steps
    will also need to be performed in order to properly display these
    Unicode ligature characters.

    *   Set the charset to UTF-8 in the HTTP response Content-Type header

            Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8"

    *   Set the charset to UTF-8 in the HTML Content-Type meta element

            <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

    *   Convert the ligatures to HTML entities using the html_entity filter

            [% $content | ligature | html_entity %]
