Hello:

Hungarian typography requires inserting small spaces before :, ;, ! and ? characters. The width of this small space should be equal to that of the period (.). In latex magyarlatex (magyar.ldf) module (part of biblatex) contains definitions to achieve this. How could I set this in context?

You can use the french settings which also requires a small space before these characters.

\starttext

Take a look at this; this: this! or this?

\setcharacterspacing[frenchpunctuation]

Thanks! It is something I'd like to have but the space inserted is too big, it looks like a normal interword space. It should be 1/3 or 1/4 interword space or the width of the dot (the visible part), but definitely less than a normal space. Is it possible to redefine the inserted space width? Thanks, bcsikos

\definecharacterspacing [hungarian]

\setupcharacterspacing [hungarian] ["003A] [left=.1,alternative=1] % : \setupcharacterspacing [hungarian] ["003B] [left=.1,alternative=1] % ; \setupcharacterspacing [hungarian] ["003F] [left=.1,alternative=1] % ? \setupcharacterspacing [hungarian] ["0021] [left=.1,alternative=1] % !
