*A sentence that occurs within brackets in the course of another sentence does not have its first word capitalized just because it starts a sentence. The enclosed sentence may have a question mark or exclamation mark added, but not a period: "Alexander then conquered (who would have believed it?) most of the known world"; "Clare demanded that he drive (she knew he hated driving) to the supermarket." These constructions are usually best avoided, for readability.

An [[ellipsis]] (plural ''ellipses'') is a series of three dots. It marks the omission of material from quoted text.

 

:Ellipses have traditionally been implemented in three ways:

:*''Three unspaced periods'' (...). This is the easiest way, and gives a reliable appearance in HTML. '''Recommended.'''

:*''Three spaced periods'' (. . .). This is an older style that is unnecessarily wide and requires non-breaking spaces to keep it from breaking at the end of a line. '''Strongly deprecated.'''

 

:Use an ellipsis if material is omitted in the course of a quotation, unless square brackets are used to gloss the quotation (see [[#Brackets_and_parentheses|above]], and the next point below). Put a space on each side of an ellipsis, except at the very start or end of a quotation. Sentence-final punctuation after an omission ellipsis is shown only if it is textually important (as is often the case with exclamation points and question marks, and rarely with periods); no space comes between the ellipsis and the terminal punctuation. Use non-breaking spaces (<code>&amp;nbsp;<code>) ''only'' as needed to prevent improper line breaks, e.g.:

:*To keep a quotation mark from being separated from the start of the quotation: <code>"...&amp;nbsp;we are still worried."</code>

:*To keep the ellipsis from wrapping to the next line: <code>"France, Germany,&amp;nbsp;... and Belgium but not the USSR."</code>

 

:Three periods are occasionally used to represent a pause in or suspense of speech, in which case the punctuation is retained in its original form (''Virginia's startled reply was: "Could he...? No, I cannot believe it!"''). This usage is avoided in other contexts in Wikipedia. <!--This is not a true ellipsis, so should be mentioned only as an aside.-->

 

:An ellipsis does not normally need square brackets around it, since its function is usually obvious—especially if the guidelines above are followed. But square brackets may optionally be used for precision, to make it clear that the ellipsis is not itself quoted; this is usually only necessary if the quoted passage also uses three period in it to indicate a pause or suspension. The ellipsis should follow exactly the principles given above, but with square brackets inserted immediately before and after it. (''Her long rant continued: "How do I feel? How do you ''think'' I... look, this has gone far enough!&nbsp;[...] I want to go home!"'')
