dot space (english article in german publication)

dot space (english article in german publication)

[Steffen Wolfrum]

Hi,

an english article set with \mainlanguage[en] gets this additional  
space after the dot closing a sentence.
That's probably right for english, only if all other articles in that  
publication are german it looks like a mistake.

How to keep the english language but turn this english typesetting off?


Thanks

Steffen

Hi!

I didn't test it (sorry;)), but I found this interesting, so I posted
this to the wiki (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/French_spacing).  Please
correct that page if necessary.
