Description François Martin 2013-12-16 12:07:40 UTC

Currently, spaces before double punctuation marks are all parsed as non-breaking spaces (“ &#160; ”). Actually, french punctuation is a little more subtle than that.

In fact, spaces before following marks:
* ;
* ?
* !
(not including colon) should be non-breaking thin spaces (“ &#8239; ”).

See [[fr:Wikipédia:Conventions_typographiques#cite_note-18]].

(In reply to comment #1)

Unfortunately, the thin space appears to be replaced by an unsightly « ▯ » in some browsers. (Especially the Wii U won’t display it correctly.) I don’t know whether this is due to the font or to the browser, but it seems to be a vetoing issue.
