This also refers to what I had written quite some time ago, about the need to replicate the "start-of-speech" at each new paragraph. So: 1) I will revert leftsentence & company to the correct ones for Italian; 2) what are the commands to set the per-language spacing after the left(sub)sentence and before the right(sub)sentence mark? Is it possible to make this spacing non-breakable? 2) I need support for leftspeech, rightspeech, leftsubspeech, righsubspeech and appropriate typesetting options (like automatically repeating leftspeech at each new paragraph in Italian) in the kernel (since it looks that all the || special chars are taken, speech could maybe be signaled by |<<| and |>>| ... ). What about it? Giuseppe Bilotta Giuseppe Bilotta Using Microsoft products is like having sex without condoms---but much less pleasurable
