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
