Hello, new to this list, I see this first message. Is it a solution for my request (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Feature_Requests) about french typography ?
\setcharacterspacing [frenchpunctuation]
Thank's a lot. It's great !
I Test it with this :
Test; test: test? test! \crlf %english input Test : test ; test ? test ! \crlf %french input Test ; test : test ? test ! \crlf %french with nbsp
Et seems that only the english input get the spacing. Don't know why but the sign « ; » of the english input don't get the spacing. You put the value to .25em, looking in the french extension (who can't play with utf8) there's a .16667em value. It's seem's that the smallest is better because the caracter belong to the word, he's not between the two words.
you have to be more explicit; for instance, what do you mean with 'french input' it's an attribute, not coupled to a language, but grouping should work ok; npsp is not intercepted (no problem to do that) i can add all kind of thins but then need precise specs + test files Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
