avoiding orphan punctuation signs

avoiding orphan punctuation signs

[Pablo Rodriguez]

Dear list,

in French, it seems to be a typographical convention to add a blank
space after or before some punctuation signs.

    la France ?
    « guillemot »
    judicieux :

Is there a general command that automatically adds the no-break space
(~) where required?

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo
