Talking about quotes and spaces in French, I have an offtopic question:
Are spaces after opening << and before closing >> really good typography
in French? I know about the spaces (thin protected ones) before :;?! but
am just not sure about the <<>>. I wrote a text in french (not frenchb,
what's the difference?) and left out all such "typographic" spaces. Babel
put them in for me before :;?!, but not between the guillemets and the
following (preceding) word. The text "looks" fine to me but then, I'm not
french...
