Hi, You can use: \setcharacterspacing[reset] when you don’t want the French character spacing, and \setcharacterspacing[frenchpunctuation] when you want it. For instance for the interaction you would say: \setupinteraction[color=darkgreen,style={\setcharacterspacing[reset]\tt}] \setupinteraction [state=start] and for setting up the typing \setuptype[style={\setcharacterspacing[reset]\tt}] \setuptyping[style={\setcharacterspacing[reset]\tt}] Best regards: OK

Dear everyone,

I am writting a French document. I would like to turn off the French character spacing temporarily in order to typeset English document title or URL. For instance, I would like to define the commands

\def\englishtitle#1{\turnofffrenchcharacterspacing{\em #1}\turnonfrenchcharacterspacing} \def\url#1{\turnofffrenchcharacterspacing{\em #1}\turnonfrenchcharacterspacing}

so that a title link “Example: English Title” will be italicised and will not have a space before “:”; and a URL like “http://www.example.com http://www.example.com/” neither.

Many thanks, Joas
