Hello,
(Passing on a question.) Is there a simple methode to automatically add
a thinspace before "?", "!", ":" and ";" as it is done commonly in
French? This would make typing easier and would allow to change a
thinspace into a normal space etc.
In addition, I have the following problem. I downloaded the latest (?)
ConTeXt - 2004.4.9 -, installed it in my $HOMETEXMF tree, added two
symlinks to make it work with an old TDS tree texmf.cnf configuration,
run texhash and fmtutil. TeX works rather nicely, except \setuppagersize.
Using \setuppapersize[a5][a4] or a5 a5 I get always one A4 page on a A4
sheet of paper. Using [a5][a4,landscape] I get a A4 paper on a sheet of
paper which is as wide and high as the height of an A4 paper.
Can anyone reproduce this? Or is this due to my configuration
(e.g. a file present in the system TEXMF tree which is not in $HOMETEXMF
and gets included)?
Regards,
Tobias

That is the one I have here.

Use Captial paper sizes (A5 A4) and everything is fine.

Hello,
thanks for this "ffr"-mode. I took a look into m-tryout.tex and
enco-ffr.tex, but unfortunately I didn't find out where to trigger a
thinspace instead of a full space before the colon.
Could you help please? (ConTeXt version is 2004.3.16)
Cheers, Peter
