Realy sorry for my bads explanations (and for my bad english…). Here
is a test file. I use the last ConTeXt, with lua.
Let's resume : In french typography, : ; ? ! « and » must have a
small nbsp (« — » too but it's too complicated, not always, so using a
« ~ » is better).
By « french input » I mean : when I type my source files I do put
spaces (and in my case nbsp, because I add it to my keyboard) before
those signs (it's the « natural » way we learn).
Looking to my tests it seems that if there's a space in the source
file, the spacing is not apply — and I guess the nbsp neither.
So, what would be great is we had something that say : no mater what
is in front of this punctuations (space, nbsp or nothing) just make
them nbsp with the right spacing !
Guillemots may be treated differently : as you said the \quote are
here for ; but If it's not a problem to leave "«" and "»" in the
\setcharacterspacing [frenchpunctuation] it would be great too.
Regards,
Olivier.
