French, ? : ; !, and spacing, \setuppapersize problem
Hello, (Passing on a question.) Is there a simple methode to automatically add a thinspace before "?", "!", ":" and ";" as it is done commonly in French? This would make typing easier and would allow to change a thinspace into a normal space etc. In addition, I have the following problem. I downloaded the latest (?) ConTeXt - 2004.4.9 -, installed it in my $HOMETEXMF tree, added two symlinks to make it work with an old TDS tree texmf.cnf configuration, run texhash and fmtutil. TeX works rather nicely, except \setuppagersize. Using \setuppapersize[a5][a4] or a5 a5 I get always one A4 page on a A4 sheet of paper. Using [a5][a4,landscape] I get a A4 paper on a sheet of paper which is as wide and high as the height of an A4 paper. Can anyone reproduce this? Or is this due to my configuration (e.g. a file present in the system TEXMF tree which is not in $HOMETEXMF and gets included)? Regards, Tobias

That is the one I have here.

Use Captial paper sizes (A5 A4) and everything is fine. Patrick

Hello, thanks for this "ffr"-mode. I took a look into m-tryout.tex and enco-ffr.tex, but unfortunately I didn't find out where to trigger a thinspace instead of a full space before the colon. Could you help please? (ConTeXt version is 2004.3.16) Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/ ________________________________________________________________ FilmSearch engine with a lot of new features: http://f-s.sf.net/
