Hi,
I'm new with ConTeXt. However, during my University years, I frequently
used LaTeX.
As I'm mostly writing in French, I'd like to know how to configure
ConTeXt for the French typesetting.
I've already tried the \mainlanguage [fr] switch but this doesn't seem
to be enough. For example, it does not insert automatically a small
space before the !?: punctuation symbols.
So I'm looking for something more complete, like the Babel French or
French LE packages worked with LaTeX.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Oliv

Salut,
You can look at this thread :
http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20080404.085856.ac87c2ec.en.html
There's a solution but not perfect since you mustn't put space before
those spaces.
I hope Arthur Reutenauer had met Hans in order to find a solution.
Olivier.

I mean before those symbols (and the space are not so good).
Olivier.

Thanks Mikael. Merci Olivier.
So, if I understand well there no in-depth French module for ConTeXt. [1]
Isn't it possible to convert the LaTeX packages (Babel French and French
LE) to ConTeXt?
As I'm totally new to ConTeXt, I don't know if it's hardwork or automatic.
Thanks in advance your help,
Oliv
[1] By the way, how do I install modules in ConTeXt ?

What is needed?

we had some discussions about this and Arthur is collecting specs and
will make a demo (test) document
btw, the only french thing is 'spacing' which is already supported but
needs some extensions (special spacing chars and such)
