(synopsis "Monospaced font with programming ligatures")
(description
- "Fira Code is an extension of the Fira Mono font containing a set of ligatures
-for common programming multi-character combinations. This is just a font rendering
-feature: underlying code remains ASCII-compatible. This helps to read and understand
-code faster. For some frequent sequences like .. or //, ligatures allow us to
-correct spacing.")

+remains ASCII-compatible. They are designed to help people to read and
+understand code faster. For some frequent sequences like @code{..} or
