In the current version of MKIV, there is no support for language-specifics, so there is actually no support for switching back from French to another language.
in mkiv language specific features are and will be part of the mechanisms themselves (and are then driven by mainlanguage)
Ok, then I just don't know how to use them...
1. the 1. paragraph of each section is indented (LATEX only); 2. the default items in itemize environment 3. vertical spacing in general LATEX lists is shortened;
to me these sounds like a design issue, not related to french
I agree. The module is just for people like Sebastien, who like to find the same things as in the frenchb LaTeX package. At some point, someone should decide, what is triggered by \mainlanguage[fr] and what is provided by such french-module. For me, "\setcharacterspacing[frenchpunctuation]" is the border case.
2. `double punctuation' (: ; ! ?) is made active
remark: in mkiv not active using active chars as we have better mechanisms
Of course, the module is for mkiv and uses \setcharacterspacing. Cheers, Peter -- Contact information: http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/
