The spacing is retained for the single quotes. But it shouldn't be -- this sort of spacing in French is used with guillemets, but never with single quotes (') or double quotes ("). At the very least, I can confirm this is the French Canadian norm, which I want to use. So, from what I understand, the system reacts with the quote as it is instructed to do with French guillemets -- add the spacing -- but only its appearance is changed. I'm afraid it's not enough. The result I want is...
« This quote has 'quotes' in it. »
Am I asking too much here? Typographic norms across languages can vary a lot, I'm afraid.
