nbsp U+00A0 don’t work
Hello, As you can see in my signature, I had remap my french keyboard layout according to dvorak rules. I have the nbsp (U+00A0) on Shift+Space because we use it a lot in french (all the symbols who needs it are on Shift too). I discover today that context don't seem to recognise it : I found a « ; » alone at the beginning of a line. Context deal with the nbsp when it's the « ~ », but with the U+00A0, not. The symbol is here, my vim highlight it. I tried with and without \setcharacterspacing [frenchpunctuation] with no effect. I use context --version : MtxRun | main context file: /usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/context.tex MtxRun | current version: 2008.06.11 22:25 Speaking about french punctuation, I remember that Arthur Reutenauer speaks about rules he wrote for frenchpunctuation, can we make a wiki page with all that rules ? I'd like to ask french typograph to look at them. Cheers, Olivier. PS : hard to do a minimal exemple, but I can try if you need it. -- [Message tapé sur un clavier Bépo : http://www.clavier-dvorak.org ] Olivier nemolivier@gmail.com http://nemolivier.blogspot.com

arthur has defined some rules (he showed me at bachotek) but afaik he would check it with the french users (assuming that you would say yes -) and afterthat i'd look into it 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

Of course, it's Yes :) The wiki seems to be a good place to put this rules, since I could ask some true typograph to have a look at them. Thank's, Olivier. -- [Message tapé sur un clavier Bépo : http://www.clavier-dvorak.org ] Olivier nemolivier@gmail.com http://nemolivier.blogspot.com

Thank's, Olivier.
Since I check them again yesterday, here is the rules for french punctuation : http://wiki.contextgarden.net/frenchpunctuation Olivier. -- [Message tapé sur un clavier Bépo : http://www.clavier-dvorak.org ] Olivier nemolivier@gmail.com http://nemolivier.blogspot.com

This is a new bug in MKIV, I'm sure that it used to work at least 1 or 2 months ago. In MKII it works as expected. Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

maybe because now it's an active character can you make a test file showing the problem (not sure what it is)?

Here is the minimal code : \setuppapersize[A4][A4] \mainlanguage [fr] \language[fr] \setcharacterspacing [frenchpunctuation] \starttext The « ; » signs shouldn't be at the beginning of a line : \crlf toto titi toto titi toto titi toto titi toto titi toto titi toto titi toto titi toto titiii Test ; test : test ? test ! « test » with nbsp before punctuation \crlf toto titi toto titi toto titi toto titi toto titi toto titi toto titi toto titi toto titiii Test~; test~: test~? test~! «~test~» with \~\ before punctuation \crlf \stoptext I attached the source code because some mail programs (and firefox2) remove the nbsp. And a .pdf if you need it. Olivier. -- [Message tapé sur un clavier Bépo : http://www.clavier-dvorak.org ] Olivier nemolivier@gmail.com http://nemolivier.blogspot.com

Here a test file: % engine=luatex \starttext \hsize1pt Hello world! \stoptext Between the "Hello" and the "world" is a U+00A0. Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/
