Ellipsis

jsharrow

We have been having a debate on the proper representation of Ellipsis. Our proofreader says there should be a space before and after.

Example:
... and the train left the station ...

When doing a call out or in general typesetting, this space bugs me. I'm trying to find a reference stating that this rule doesn't stand for typesetting (like 2 spaces after a period in essays!)
