Re: hyperlinks in LaTeX

French rules
============

The point is that the french typography says that a non-breaking space
should be inserted before a semi-colon. For this reason LaTeX
produces the following::

  http ://anydomainname.any

instead of::

 http://anydomainname.any

What could we do to sort this out?

Or typeset http://anydomainname.org.

* What about the ``.`` before org.
* call with ``-l fr``

The quest
---------

* Look for verbatim found ``verbatim.tex`` somewhere
  in a neighbouring ``babel`` directory i found two files with french.
* frenchb.ldf looks more like it. Could not find colon, search before::

    \def\AutoSpaceBeforeFDP{%
          \def\FDP <at> thinspace{\penalty\ <at> M\thinspace}%
          \def\FDP <at> space{\penalty\ <at> M\ }}
    \def\NoAutoSpaceBeforeFDP{\let\FDP <at> thinspace\ <at> empty
                          \let\FDP <at> space\ <at> empty}
    \AutoSpaceBeforeFDP
    \declare <at> shorthand{system}{:}{\string:}
    \declare <at> shorthand{system}{!}{\string!}
    \declare <at> shorthand{system}{?}{\string?}
    \declare <at> shorthand{system}{;}{\string;}

  Looks like we get problems with ``?`` too if in a hyperref.

  http://somewhere.not/cgi-bin?value=2

* and on my installation the text above ``Looks ...`` get's
  inside the preceeding verbatim block.

* when looking for FDP::

    \declare <at> shorthand{french}{:}{%
    \ifhmode
      \ifdim\lastskip>\z <at> 
        \unskip\penalty\ <at> M\
      \else
        \FDP <at> space
      \fi
    \fi
    \string:}

  turns up.  So what was this with latex *horizontal mode* ?

  My documentation talks about paragraph-, math and LR-mode.
