Set of rules for french punctuation.
You must put
<pre>
\setcharacterspacing [frenchpunctuation]
</pre>
in your file.
== Some length ==
* « — » (em dash). When used for a parenthesis, I think we must ask people to put a « ~ » or an utf8 nbsp to notify them : « bar —~foo bar~— foo ». And the result is « bar''x''—''y''foo bar''y′''—''x′'' foo ». Where ''x=y'' and ''x′=y′''. ''y'' and ''y′'' are non breakable spaces.
* of course, in an enumeration, the space after « — » have a fix space.
* « * », « † », « ‡ », « ¹ », « ² », etc. : all notes get a — realy — — really — thin non breakable space before (sometime nothing), are before the punctuation, follow with the space depending of the punctuation.
* if the note is a letter, between parenthesis, they must be in italic.
* the inner space of quotation — “«” and “»” — use thin non breakable spaces. «''x''foo''x''». ''x'' = small non breakable space.
