Hello
I use the babel package with the frenchb option.
In LaTeX, this option inserts unbreakable thin spaces before all double
punctuations: ":", ";", "!", "?", "«", "»"
(for "«" and "»" you have to declare \frenchbsetup{og=«,fg=»} in the preamble)
When I produce an OpenOffice document from my latex, the double punctuations
"?", ";", and "!" no longer have a space before them.
Another problem is that the space (when it exists) should be unbreakable, which
is not the case : before ":", "»" and after "«" it is an ordinary space.
So, the conversion from LaTeX to OpenOffice does not respect the french
typographical rules which are implemented in frenchb.
Is there a way to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance
Thierry
