for direct-response copy and web pages.
When I use ellipses, I always place a space on both sides which gets the
same width as other spaces on the same line. By using .\^.\^., I get
similar spacing to that provided by the
Looking back further than just a few years ago, we find that
texts set in metal (hot and cold) tended to use the full word
space out of pure convenience. Individually adjusting the
dots in an ellipsis was simply too much fussy work...
Hmmm. I have no experience with metal type, but I

Any citations on this? The typophile forum seems divided
on the issue. Chicago apparently specifies a 1/3 em space

I use a simple string: .\^.\^. and precede it with \ if at first
of line. Or you could add the \ in every case. It's much easier
to read in source files than figuring out what the string is --
especially for someone who inherits the file for later maintenance.
Using .\|.\|. is too spread out,

Thanks for the explanations.
Either you register `u0045_0302_0301' with .char directly in your
document (or in a proper macro file, say, `vi.tmac'), or you add this
to the devutf8 font description files.
I want to get rid of the description files for everything that is

Werner,
Please always bear in mind that groff is actually a typesetting
program, not a `man' filter! TTY output is handled similarly to other
decives like PS. This has advantages, but also some disadvantages.
What you want to do probably needs a lot of `Extrawürschte' just for

empty. The empty is now omitted, just like html mode does.
The patch is appended in the file www.tmac.patch2.
