Arbitrarily Long Ligations of Some Characters

[kryzet]

• Some Markdown flavors require this ligation.
• This ligation is implemented in Fira Code.

When writing tables in one of the Markdown flavors that supports them and pretty much anytime you're doing ASCII art or pretty formatting of textual output, you need a lot of straight-line characters placed next to each other such as the hyphen, underscore, equal to sign, and vertical bar, as well as the plus sign. Fira Code supports ligatures for some of these, and you can find a sample below, but I think all of these characters should have ligatures to allow for better readability of pretty-printed text output. In programming languages, this would likely also make sense for double- or triple-character operators that use these symbols. You can find the below picture in the Fira Code GitHub repository.

We currently already have long ligations. You may need to enable dlig feature to enable them.

Isn't there a way to toggle on individual ligatures? dlig is a bit much for me.

You can make a custom build to choose particular types of ligature.
