Add a space between the word and the colon in description












0














In French, colons are always placed after an unbreakable space. However, babel does not implement this rule. How to correct that?



documentclass{standalone}
usepackage[french]{babel}

begin{document}
begin{description}
item{Lorem} ipsum.
end{description}
end{document}
