Thanks Kim, Mayrie, Evan and anyone I forgot to mention. *smile*
I've been looking at the ellipsis/four period issue in context and will
continue to do just that.
Thanks again to everyone who responded.
Blessings.

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.
