Hi Lynn,
I leave a space after the period following an elipsis, or after the final
period in an elipsis. I do not leave one before the elipsis. The braille
translator handles this fine. Just what I do.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Formatting question re ellipsis.
Hi Everyone!
I know we've had several discussions on this subject and don't wish to open
a Pandora's box again.... However, I'm wondering if there should still be no
spaces when you have a sentence with a period, plus and ellipsis? I am
proofreading two books that have four periods, (an ellipsis followed by a
period). Should there be a space after the period? What's confusing is
whether the ellipsis actually occurs before the period or whether it occurs
after it. Hope that makes sense.
I'm asking because I want to be consistent; and be sure that I and the
Braille translator handle the situation correctly. *smile*
Thank you.
Blessings.
Lynnsky
