I think that I remember that there was to be no space between the final ellipsis and the period; at least that is how I have been doing it.

Jamie,You're right, but those who read braille have said it's annoying and they prefer it without the spaces, and I think bookshare approved that we do it that way. I suppose the same would be true for those who listen. When I valdiate I do a global replaceAnd I didn't see an answer to the question about when they come at the end of a sentence, but I would think the same would hold true, so I do not space between the period and the 3 ellipses.Cindy --- On Sat, 8/16/08, Jamie Yates, CPhT <jamieyates@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: Jamie Yates, CPhT <jamieyates@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Don't worry! and 2 questions To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Saturday, August 16, 2008, 1:49 AMA proper ellipsis has spaces between the dots according to my APA manual and the Chicago style manual. dot space dot space dotJamie in Michigan Currently Reading - Strangers in Death by J.D.

Not all of the meta-data is correct, so we will be correcting it over the next few days. No need to tell us about it, we know! We'll take care of it, we promise. And we'll be putting in some Open E-books into the collection in the next few days too. We have made special arrangements to put in e-books, please don't add your e-books to the collection. 2) I don't remember what the final conclusion was, about what symbols to add around the phrase "blank page" on blank pages? Did you all agree on angle brackets (<>) or square brackets ([])? 3) The other thing I don't recall is about 3 dots in a row. Should they have spaces between them (. . .) or not (...)?Thanks for your help!
