First, I noticed that \unknown produces three dots, not four. So, I tried "\unknown." (See the attached.) In this case, There is a thin space between the word and the first dot, so that the output looks like which . . . . Convention says that the fist dot should look like a sentence-ending period: which. . . . Second, with "\unknown.", the last space is slightly, just slightly, narrower than the preceding two. I guess "\unknown" is designed to be an inter-sentence ellipsis: This long sentence\unknown is complicated. For this purpose, it's perfect. It generates appropriate spaces before and after the three dots. Regards, Ryo ======================================== \starttext Hello\ldots. World.\ldots Hello\unknown.
