Subject: robust \dots command
Date: Mon, 5 Mar 2001 11:52:21 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <01030511522101.00898@bilbo> (raw)
Hello,
I suggest to change the definition of \dots to match the one from latex.
With the current implementation \dots uses the math \ldots so it is not set
in the current font.
Latex makes a distinction between \textellipsis and \mathellipsis:
\DeclareRobustCommand{\dots}{%
\ifmmode\mathellipsis\else\textellipsis\fi}
\DeclareTextCommandDefault{\textellipsis}{%
.\kern\fontdimen3\font
.\kern\fontdimen3\font
.\kern\fontdimen3\font}
\def\mathellipsis{\mathinner{\ldotp\ldotp\ldotp}}%
The advantage of this definition is, that we can switch easyly to a real
ellipsis if the current font has one.
Uwe
