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” neither. Many thanks, Joas

You can use the \resetcharacterspacing command to disable the spacing. \setcharacterspacing[frenchpunctuation] \definestartstop [EnglishTitle] [commands=\resetcharacterspacing, style=italic] \starttext text: «text» \EnglishTitle{text: «text»} \stoptext
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.
The \url and \hyphenatedurl need to be fixed. Wolfgang

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

Not needed for verbatim mode which already disables the mechanism. Wolfgang
