I would like to know if there is a way to abbreviate "saint" in this french way. A dash is also commonly used.

My researches are unsuccessful at this point, thanks in advance.

  • Okay did not know that. I don't think so, mainly on street sign yes. I really like the way it look compare to a simple St. I should not use it in a french document?

  • Leaving aside why this was 'abbreviated' in the first place (perhaps this rule is English language only, and not French) ... but in general, "St" is not an abbreviation, but a contraction for the word "Saint". This means it should not have a 'dot' at all in the first place, i.e. St Germain. Compare to "Street", which is an abbreviation, e.g.: "St George St.". The same goes with other contractions vs abbreviations, e.g. "Dr Jekyll" but "Prof. Hyde".

The following should produce what you want. You can use an optional argument to specify another letter than T (e.g. t):



documentclass[]{article}

newsaveboxmyboxA
newsaveboxmyboxB
newcommandsaint[1][T]
{%
begingroup
sboxmyboxA{S}%
useboxmyboxA
sboxmyboxB{tiny#1}%
rlap{raisebox{dimexprhtmyboxA-htmyboxB}{useboxmyboxB}}%
makebox[wdmyboxB]{.}%
endgroup
}

begin{document}
saint Germain
