Hi all,

For my french document, I use:

\def\activateSomeCharacters{%
  \defineactivecharacter ! {\,\string!}%
  \defineactivecharacter ? {\,\string?}%
  \defineactivecharacter : {\,\string:}%
  \defineactivecharacter ; {\,\string;}}
\activateSomeCharacters
\appendtoks\activateSomeCharacters\to\everystarttext

in my environment, but there is a problem:

If the input is "test:", the result is correct but if the input is "test
:" (with a space between test and :) the output space between test and :
is too large (I assume a normal space + \,)
Is this possible to get this def smarter ?

Cheers,

Renaud
