Usage

This template is not universally accepted, and in some cases the ellipsis character (… …) should be used instead. Please consider conventions presented in the Wikisource:Style guide before deciding which to use.

The intention is replace an ellipsis with single, non-breaking spaces between the ellipsis marks.

The following shortcuts have been created:

{{...}} The keyboard characters for full stops/periods, unspaced

{{. . .}} The keyboard characters for full stops/periods, with single spaces

{{…}} The ellipsis glyph

Example:

It is a worse disgrace{{...|4}}" her full rage burst out at last, "{{...}} a worse disgrace than the hospitals at Scutari."

will render as:

It is a worse disgrace." her full rage burst out at last, ". a worse disgrace than the hospitals at Scutari."

Multiple dots

Use the first parameter to control the number of dots.

Example:

Dots are believed by many writers of our day to be a good substitute for effective writing. They are certainly an easy one. Let us have a few more{{...|6}}

will render as:

Dots are believed by many writers of our day to be a good substitute for effective writing. They are certainly an easy one. Let us have a few more.

Different characters

If a different symbol is used instead of the period ("."), add a second parameter to change the symbol. If the first parameter is left empty, it defaults to 1.

Example

Some writers use asterisks {{...|3|*}} for their ellipses instead of periods.

will render as:

Some writers use asterisks * for their ellipses instead of periods.

First character

Sometimes the first character is different (e.g. a comma):

Example

my expectation being too great{{...|first=,|3}} and my having a book I believe did spoil it a little.

my expectation being too great, and my having a book I believe did spoil it a little.

In this case, the comma is included in the "no-wrap" container so it will stay together with the ellipsis dots. {{,...}} is a shortcut for {{...|first=,}}
