missing space with French quotation

missing space with French quotation

[Peter Münster via ntg-context]

Hi,

With the latest ConTeXt version, there is a missing space:

\mainlanguage[fr]
\setcharacterspacing[frenchpunctuation]
\starttext
bla \quotation{OK} bla\\
bla «OK» bla
\startquotation
  Here is missing space
\stopquotation
\stoptext

How could I get back the space before "»" please?

TIA for any help,
-- 
           Peter

Hi Peter,

I know that's not the expected answer and I'm sorry about that. But why 
use \startquotation when \quotation{something} does the job just fine?

I've looked to replicate your MWE and for my part, there's just a space 
missing at the end of the quote before the last quote (but I'm working 
with an older version of CTX). To get the quote indented, instead of 
\startquotation, I use the command \startnarrower and \stopnarrower.

What about something like this :

\mainlanguage[fr] \setcharacterspacing[frenchpunctuation]

\starttext bla \quotation{Que d'hommes entre Dieu et moi !} bla\\ bla 
«OK» bla

\startnarrower

\quotation{\tfx{On cherche à mieux cerner les effets des commandes de 
\ConTeXt sur les citations et les espaces entre les guillemets}}

\stopnarrower

\stoptext


Sorry if my answer is not very helpful !

JP

It's not the same:

\starttext
bla \quotation{quotation} bla
\blank[big]
bla
\startquotation
  quotation
\stopquotation
bla
\stoptext

It's not the same:

\starttext
\startquotation
  quotation\\quotation
\stopquotation
\startnarrower
  \quotation{quotation\\quotation}
\stopnarrower
\stoptext
