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 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."

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. . .
