Re: French typography in HTML output

[Karl Berry]

Bonjour John,

    I would appreciate that makeinfo outputs HTML with French typography

The hard-but-ideal way would be to change makeinfo and texinfo.tex so
that the spaces are inserted when
@documentlanguage fr 
is in effect.  That means recognizing end-of-sentence punctuation, etc.
Not easy.  Not anything I myself can implement in the foreseeable future.

The more feasible method is to explicitly include the space in the input
file:

address@hidden:    [assuming no line break should occur before the : or ;]
address@hidden;
address@hidden
address@hidden

(This is abusing @dmn, but I think it will work.  Or I could add a
@thinspace{} command easily enough.)

    characters should be inputed with a preceding blank space in the Texinfo

I don't understand.

    source, I suppose a simple text substitution is needed.

I fear it is far from "simple" :(.

Best,
Karl
