Hi, I'm new with ConTeXt. However, during my University years, I frequently used LaTeX. As I'm mostly writing in French, I'd like to know how to configure ConTeXt for the French typesetting. I've already tried the \mainlanguage [fr] switch but this doesn't seem to be enough. For example, it does not insert automatically a small space before the !?: punctuation symbols. So I'm looking for something more complete, like the Babel French or French LE packages worked with LaTeX. Thanks in advance for your help! Oliv
Hi,

Salut, You can look at this thread : http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20080404.085856.ac87c2ec.en.html There's a solution but not perfect since you mustn't put space before those spaces. I hope Arthur Reutenauer had met Hans in order to find a solution.

I mean before those symbols (and the space are not so good). Olivier. -- [Message tapé sur un clavier Bépo : http://www.clavier-dvorak.org ] Olivier nemolivier@gmail.com http://nemolivier.blogspot.com
Thanks Mikael. Merci Olivier. So, if I understand well there no in-depth French module for ConTeXt. [1] Isn't it possible to convert the LaTeX packages (Babel French and French LE) to ConTeXt? As I'm totally new to ConTeXt, I don't know if it's hardwork or automatic. Thanks in advance your help, Oliv [1] By the way, how do I install modules in ConTeXt ?

we had some discussions about this and Arthur is collecting specs and will make a demo (test) document btw, the only french thing is 'spacing' which is already supported but needs some extensions (special spacing chars and such) 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
