Usage
[rediger]This template is not universally accepted, and in some cases the ellipsis character (… …) should be used instead. Please consider conventions presented in the Wikikilden:Stilmanual 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. {{...}}" 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
[rediger]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
[rediger]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.
