Hello again,
If you look at one of the images in my previous post (I attached it
here again), you may notice the ellipsis (that has 5 periods instead of
3, but that is not my concern). Its last period is bigger, to indicate
the fusion of the ellipsis and the sentence final period. It does not
seem stupid to me, so, out of curiosity (I believe, in the end, I will
stick to the modern typography, even if it is more confusing), could
that be easily typeset with Context ? Either with a bigger final
period, or with a normal size final period and other smaller ones. I
guess the second way is better, for consistency with other periods in
other sentences.
So far, I have defined ellipsis (all periods having the same size) as:
\unexpanded\def\ell{{\def\periodswidth{.4em}\periods[5]}}
Regards,
Stéphane.
