It would be very very very welcome to have an automatic formating concerning typographic rules about ponctuation in french.
Libre office has it, word also, it should’nt be very difficult to implement and would be nice for the french speaking people.
I recently purchased a scrivener license, but I almost didn’t due to this issue. I’m sure it must be a reason not to by it for many people.
Amicalement votre.
Et bien il suffit que tu ouvres Libre-office en Français; Quand tu tapes un texte, les ponctuations “à la française”, se font automatiquement, Espace avant les signes doubles, espaces insecables quand nécessaire, " remplacé par « et par ». le tout de manière transparente pour le rédacteur. Et quand on reviens dessus, avec des corrections, cela reste en place sans rajouts parasites.
Hi everyone.
Has there been any advance on this issue?
I’m new to Scrivener. I’m British but I write in French. I like to keep the Scrivener app’s main language in English, but have a French dictionary installed for writing.
The dictionary works fine for spelling, but as Malik has written here - four years ago ? - there seems to be nothing that takes into account French punctuation rules. I have been able to install guillemets in FILE - Options - Corrections, but there seems to be nothing else regarding different forms in other languages.
PS
To reply to my own question, I’ve just found this, but it seems a bit complicated and I’m not sure I want to go down the road of importing something that seems to not be originally part of the app into Scrivener…
