<h5 id="GrapeCity_Documents_Word_Font_ContextualAlternates_remarks">Remarks</h5>
<div class="markdown level1 remarks"><p>Contextual alternates are ligatures that are applied to individual characters based on the letters around them (their context).
Contextual alternates can also be applied to entire words in certain contexts, for example,
words frequently used in titles (such as &quot;of&quot; and &quot;the&quot;). When contextual alternates are enabled for a font,
they are used instead of the standard ligatures in those contexts defined by the font designer.</p>
