Usage
A convenience template for easy access to various directional Unicode ellipsis. Per MOS:ELLIPSIS, three unspaced dots (<syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" style="" inline="1">...</syntaxhighlight>) should generally be used for ellipsis; this template is intended for specialized usage. This template can be substituted to directly insert the referenced character.
The first parameter determines the template's display; with no parameters, it renders as three periods. All the accepted parameters values are listed below:
