Hi ConTeXt users,

I'm wondering what's the ConTeXt version of LaTeX's "\@." (which indicates an end-of-sentence period). I can define

\def\@{\spacefactor1000}

and use it, but if there is an official version I'd like to know.

I think in Professional typesetting, the same amount of space should be left for all full stop/comma/whaever. You'd better change TeX's default behavior.

huh? each language can has its own rules ... spacing after period or comma is one, but also think of quotes in quotations etc; and, the french have spacing before and after : ; . , (it has always been a selling point for tex to be able to deal with it) 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
