Description mike 2007-06-13 17:29:42 UTC
The no-break space added before french punctuation symbols like ";", "!" or ":" is wrong. It should be one fourth of an em wide (see the french page about punctuation : http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponctuation#Signes_de_ponctuation_occidentaux ).

Since the HTML entity doesn't look well supported, I suggest we replace the actual "&nbsp;" with "<span style="font-size: 0.25em;">&nbsp;</span>".

If you'd rather move this behavior to an extension, here's the code.

And here's the patch to remove the behavior from the core.
Comment 4 Brion Vibber 2007-06-15 18:24:09 UTC
This would be far too fragile, producing invalid output where text appears eg inside HTML attribute values.

Doesn't really seem worth the effort, given that normal-sized spaces are being used to begin with.
