+Spacing
+-------
+
+We've adopted "french spacing" rules in the code. The rule is:
+
+* for *simple* punctuation (``,``, ``.``): use *one space after* the punctuation sign;
+* for *double* punctuation (``!``, ``?``, ``:``): use *one space after and one space before* the punctuation sign.
+
+Of course, this rules only aplies on the source code, not on the strings (translatable strings, comments, ...)!
