Usage
The existence of this template has not been discussed, and the consequences have not been examined, usage is not recommended...
The intention is replace an ellipsis with single, non-breaking spaces leading and 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.{{...}}" 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."
