Exactly :) Little gray cells :)
Typing «some text» or <<some text>> with no space is just plain weird
*for me*.
You wrote in the succeeding mail:

Now I am a bit confused ...
Normally, you would type << some text >> with spaces and "some other
text" without!?
Yes, because I expect :
<< some text >> -> « some text » (with nbsp)
"some text" -> “some text”
Which I think is the most correct and most agreed on interpretation.
To add to my confusion I have found two documents describing French
typography which contradict themselves:
On
http://www.oqlf.gouv.qc.ca/ressources/bibliotheque/ecrits_administratifs/espacement.html
it says that GUILLEMET OUVRANT and FERMANT have each one space before
and after (no surprise) and GUILLEMET ANGLAIS (ouvrant et fermant)
behave the same.
Whereas on http://www.interpc.fr/mapage/billaud/ponctua.htm#parentheses
it says that Guillemets à la française « » have the same behaviour as
stated above, but Guillemets à l'anglaise “ ” have each an outer space,
but no inner space ("on laisse des espaces à l'extérieur, mais pas à
l'intérieur"), like "this" ...
Yes, there are many different interpretations. (Here France and Canada,
but you can find divergences everywhere.) I can check "Le manuel de
l'Imprimerie Nationale" (France) if you want.
Being a nitpicker, I enter %%<< some text >>%% in DokuWiki and wrote a
(perhaps buggy) plugin to get %%«&nbps;some text »%% (only I used
utf-8 encoding instead of html entities, not sure that is smart). Of
course, I believe that my way is somehow the best one ;-)
Looking at your plugin page, I notice that it adds spaces to ? ! ; : »
and «, but *not to " “ ” ‘ or ’*. Is that intentional?
Yes, as noted above.
