    Hello,

    If print has spaces between the dots of an "ellipsis," should I leave the spaces in braille or remove them? I think I should leave them and just treat it as three spaced dots.

    I'm working on a document with several snippets from quotes, such as "I like going in the water . . . the water advantage is huge."

    Thanks!

    An ellipsis is represented in braille by three cells of dots 256 - unspaced from each other.  The spacing preceding and following the ellipsis can follow print, but the ellipsis itself is unspaced.
