See:

https://github.com/githubnext/monaspace#visual-studio-code which says You must start the setting with 'calt', 'liga', 'dlig'!
https://monaspace.githubnext.com section "Code ligatures" which lists only "editor.fontLigatures": "'ss01', 'ss02', 'ss03', 'ss04', 'ss05', 'ss06', 'ss07', 'ss08', 'calt', 'dlig'",

Aside: It's also possibly confusing that the first reference says one must start with those settings and the second reference puts them at the end.

I've found out that only the latter properly enables dlig ligatures like |> (I guess?). The "'calt', 'liga', 'dlig', 'ss01', ..." does not work.

This appears to be a VSCode bug. However, the documentation should still be consistent.

Hi there! In v1.1, liga takes on a specific meaning, and dlig has been removed. See the coding ligatures section in the readme.
