  • polyglossia and french

    From =?UTF-8?Q?Fran=C3=A7ois_Patte?=@21:1/5 to All on Thu Jan 9 11:57:45 2025
    Bonjour,

    I used to use babel with french option, now I want to use polyglossia
    with \setmainlanguage{french} but I can't find documentation about some commands which are defined in babel-french, for instance:

    french guillemets are defined in babel as \og and \fg, what is the
    equivalent in polyglossia?

    Using package numprint with autolanguage option allows to give a way to
    type great numbers in French style (a space between 3 digits) and use
    command \nombre instead of \numprint.

    Is there a documentation giving the polyglossia equivalents of babel?

    texdoc polyglossia does not give this stuff.

    F.P.

    Why would you want that? The french support for babel is much
    better.

    Because I am working on old configuration files I made when xelatex was
    not very compatible with babel.

    But, I see that babel has changed... I am reading the doc!

    I try to edit bilingual documents in french ans sanskrit.
