[***SPAM***] small space before some characters (: ; ! ?)

[***SPAM***] small space before some characters (: ; ! ?)

[Csikos Bela]

Hello:

Hungarian typography requires inserting small spaces before :, ;, ! and ? characters.
The width of this small space should be equal to that of the period (.). In latex magyarlatex (magyar.ldf) module (part of biblatex) contains definitions to achieve this. How could I set this in context?

Thanks in advance,

bcsikos

You can use the french settings which also requires a small space before these characters.

\starttext

Take a look at this; this: this! or this?

\setcharacterspacing[frenchpunctuation]

Take a look at this; this: this! or this?

\stoptext

Thanks!
It is something I'd like to have but the space inserted is too big, it looks like a normal interword space. It should be 1/3 or 1/4 interword space or the width of the dot (the visible part), but definitely less than a normal space. Is it possible to redefine the inserted space width? 

Thanks,

bcsikos

\definecharacterspacing [hungarian]

\setupcharacterspacing [hungarian] ["003A] [left=.1,alternative=1] % :
\setupcharacterspacing [hungarian] ["003B] [left=.1,alternative=1] % ;
\setupcharacterspacing [hungarian] ["003F] [left=.1,alternative=1] % ?
\setupcharacterspacing [hungarian] ["0021] [left=.1,alternative=1] % !

\starttext

Take a look at this; this: this! or this?

Take a look at this.; this.: this.! or this.?

\setcharacterspacing[frenchpunctuation]

Take a look at this; this: this! or this?

\setcharacterspacing[hungarian]

Take a look at this; this: this! or this?
