	The Ellipsis
		The ellipsis consists of three evenly spaced dots (periods) with spaces between the ellipsis and surrounding letters or other marks.
		The ellipsis should be regarded as one unit and should not be broken at the end of a line.
		The MLA Handbook recommends using square brackets on either side of the ellipsis points to distinguish between an ellipsis that you've added and the ellipses that might have been in the original text.

	Talk:Ellipsis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In my experience omissions/deletions are marked with a bare ellipsis or, more often, with an ellipsis enclosed in brackets in publications.
		Some style books call for the ellipsis to be spaced more widely than single en spaces, much different than the spacing of the character found in typical computer fonts, which are sometimes narrower than el spaces.
		This article has no examples about the use of space after the ellipsis when the ellipsis is used to indicate an omission or continuation at the beginning of the sentence.

		Question marks and exclamation points migrate according to the sense of the sentence (if material that you are quoting has internal quotations, the original positioning of punctuation marks must, of course, be preserved even if it varies from the Dao style).
		Use three points to indicate the omission of words within a quoted sentence; use four points to indicate the omission of a full sentence or more.
		For example, the initial letter of a quotation may be changed to a capital or a lowercase letter to fit the demands of the context, and such a change does not require brackets; Dao authors may use their own discretion with respect to such changes.

		Ellipses, also known as ellipsis points (or, if you're talking about one set, an ellipsis), are three equally spaced periods (...) used as punctuation in particular circumstances.
		The second ellipsis marks the omission of a part of the sentence punctuated with a semicolon; note that the internal punctuation (the semicolon) before the omission remains in place.
		Note that the quoting writer has chosen to combine the second and third sentences, and therefore has silently lowercased "But." Also notice that although the writer does not quote the end of the third sentence, she does not use an ellipsis to indicate the omission, and has placed the period where it grammatically should be.

	Dr. Lee Baginski Ellipsis
		But if omitting material from the original sentence or sentences leaves a quotation that appears to be a sentence or a series of sentences, you must use ellipsis points, or three spaced periods, to indicate that your quotation does not completely reproduce the original.
		When the ellipsis coincides with the end of your sentence, leave a space before the first bracket, and immediately follow the last bracket with the sentence period and the closing quotation mark.
		With such an omission, the first bracket of the ellipsis is always preceded by a space, but what comes before this space and after the last bracket varies, depending on the material that the ellipsis replaces.
