Hi, Kelly. I don't know, though. In the books I've seen from NLS in hardcopy braille, there are no spaces between the ellipses, either, so I don't know. It might just be a standard for braille, like some of their other space-saving techniques. Take care.

I had no idea the dots appear separated in print. I think the braille translator may need some tweaking... Kellie
