At the moment, I use “\,” between word and question marks. Also “~”
between word and “:”. I guess the \definecharacterspacing is more
flexible and transparent from text input point of view (only write
normal space). IIRC both \, and ~ also avoids line breaking at their
location. Is there a way to specify this too please ?
The characterspacing commands can take care of it. The following example
demonstrates this (I used the value 2 just to make it clear what is
happening). It appears that alternative=1 inhibits breaks, while
alternative=0 (or leaving alternative= out completely) allows breaks. I
have not seen documentation; what I know about it comes from tests like
the example below.
\definecharacterspacing[test]
\setupcharacterspacing[test]["003A][left=2,alternative=1] % :
\setupcharacterspacing[test]["003B][left=2,alternative=0] % ;
\setupcharacterspacing[test]["00BF][right=2,alternative=0] % ¿
\starttext
\hsize4cm
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:\par
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx :\par
¿xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx;\par
¿ xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ;\par
\setcharacterspacing[test]
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:\par
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx :\par
¿xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx;\par
¿ xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ;\par
\stoptext
(Many ConTeXt commands have a \defineABC[somename] and a
\setupABC[somename][options=…]. This can often, as is the case with
characterspacing, be shortened into one command,
\defineABC[somename][options=…], but I think not always.)
