I don't think it matters all that much. The way they usually scan for me is
with no spaces at the end of a sentence. The braille translator seems to render
this as having the ellipsis followed by the period.

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.
