Several examples are given in which the soliton solutions belonging to well‐known nonlinear differential equations arise as simple limits of the Jacobian elliptic functions. The knowledge of the solutions of a single ordinary nonlinear differential equation is sufficient for the subsequent derivation of soliton solutions. Various explicit examples are worked out.
