Bonjour Jean-Charles,
an angled quote
Sadly, I cannot think of a good way to produce guillemets in Texinfo.
You can do it in the Info/HTML output by using:
@documentlanguage fr
@documentencoding ISO-8859-1
and then the actual 8-bit characters in the text. (See info-fr.texi in
the Texinfo distribution for a real-life example.)
However, texinfo.tex doesn't currently know how to handle such 8-bit
chars, so all the accented characters just disappear in the TeX output.
Different fonts have to be used, for starters.
If someone knowledgeable about TeX is interested in preparing a usable
patch for texinfo.tex about this, that would be most wonderful. I've
received a number of patches in this area over the years, but they have
all (as I recall) changed current behavior so severely that I could not
install them.
It would be feasible to create special commands to produce the
guillemets (@lguil{} and @rguil{}, or whatever), but somehow I doubt
that will really be enough for you -- won't you need a whole of
special characters? (Not to mention French hyphenation, which is
another whole project.)
Sorry.
karl
