Can these ligatures be applied recursively?
- StavrosK 6y agoRecursively how?
- np_tedious 6y agoPretty sure the answer is "no" but I'll explain more what I was wondering. Assume "arse" and "anal" are both on the bad and that underscores are treated like irrelevant whitespace. Arsenal A___nal A______
- StavrosK 6y agoYou mean "arse" and "enal"? So basically overlaps? That's a good question, I'm not sure what happens there, I think the first ligature "wins". Yeah, if you type "cuntits" it only censors "unt".
- np_tedious 6y agoNo. I mean first the "arse" rule is applied, and then the "anal" rule (because this didn't exist previously and because the blanked out letters are ignored) is applied next
- StavrosK 6y agoOh, I see. No, that's not how ligatures work. I also don't see why A___nal would be censored, it's clearly not intended to be a curseword.
- np_tedious 6y agoJust running with the idea expressed an a parent comment above. I think neither "anal" nor "arse" should be censored
- Etheryte 6y agoThat sounds unlikely, ligatures are two or more consecutive graphemes graphemes joined into a single glyph, but only visually. The underlying text is unmodified, so as far as the renderer is concerned, the text is still "arsenal".
