Hi Reggie,
Echoing what Sue said, you did it right. I think some confusion has crept
in on the list however because you called the row of three asterisks an
ellipsis. It isn't an ellipsis. It's just three asterisks in a row.
An ellipsis is a totally different thing that doesn't have any connection
to the use of three asterisks in bookshare books. An ellipsis is three
periods in a row, with no separation or spaces between them. It is used
grammatically by authors in sentences in printed books as if it is a word,
to indicate an intentional omission of words that is being quoted. It is
also used to show an intentional pause in thought or in speech.
I hope that doesn't make things muddier! smile.
