Hi,
I looked into the \dots macro: I can see how it works in math mode, but
in text mode it puts a thin space (\,) after the dots. So what is the
right way to type, say, this sentence:
"I like ConTeXt... but the learning curve is steep!"
A. I like \CONTEXT\dots but the learning curve is steep!
or
B. I like \CONTEXT\dots\ but the learning curve is steep!
?
Regards,

“\CONTEXT\unknown” or “\CONTEXT …”

What about this?
I like \CONTEXT{\dots} but the learning curve is steep!

Thanks!
Do I get it correctly that \unknown yields three characters (dots) in
the resulting pdf and … one (if it's available in the font, at least)?

This I consider equivalent to "\dots\ " (at least in this, well,
context;)).

Yes, \unknown are three periods which are separated by a small space
and … is one character. Sometimes \unknown can give a better look and
it can be necessary when you use a Type1 font which lacks …
