The {{...}} (dots or ellipsis) typing-aid template returns either the HTML glyph (default), the UTF-16 hex code, the LaTeX code or the name (description) for a given ellipsis.

Usage

{{...|type|format}}

where type is among

• ldots (baseline horizontal dots) (default);
• cdots (midline horizontal dots);
• vdots (vertical dots);
• urdots (up right diagonal dots) or iddots (inverse diagonal dots);
• drdots (down right diagonal dots) or ddots (diagonal dots);

and format is among (case insensitive)

• htm (default);
• hex;
• tex;
• name.

Matrix example

The code (using templates {{math}}, {{matrix}}, {{sub}} and {{=}})

{{indent}}{{math|

A{{sub|''m'',''n''}} {{=}} <!--

-->{{matrix|       
  ''a''{{sub|1,1}}      && ''a''{{sub|1,2}}      && {{...|cdots}}  && ''a''{{sub|1,''n''}}      \\       
  ''a''{{sub|2,1}}      && ''a''{{sub|2,2}}      && {{...|cdots}}  && ''a''{{sub|2,''n''}}      \\      
  {{...|vdots}}         && {{...|vdots}}         && {{...|ddots}}  && {{...|vdots}}             \\ 
  ''a''{{sub|''m'',1}}  && ''a''{{sub|''m'',2}}  && {{...|cdots}}  && ''a''{{sub|''m'',''n''}}  \\       
}}

|&&}} 

yields the HTML+CSS matrix

     

Am,n = a1,1   a1,2   ⋯   a1,n a2,1   a2,2   ⋯   a2,n ⋮   ⋮   ⋱   ⋮ am,1   am,2   ⋯   am,n

while the code

{{indent}}{{math| 

{\rm A}_{m,n} {{=}} <!--

-->{{matrix|
  a_{1,1}           && a_{1,2}           && {{...|cdots|TeX}} && a_{1,n}            \\
  a_{2,1}           && a_{2,2}           && {{...|cdots|TeX}} && a_{2,n}            \\
  {{...|vdots|TeX}} && {{...|vdots|TeX}} && {{...|ddots|TeX}} && {{...|vdots|TeX}}  \\
  a_{m,1}           && a_{m,2}           && {{...|cdots|TeX}} && a_{m,n}            \\
||TeX}}

|$$}}

yields the LaTeX (rendered as a PNG image) matrix

     ${\begin{array}{l}\displaystyle {{\rm {A}}_{m,n}={\begin{pmatrix}a_{1,1}&a_{1,2}&\cdots &a_{1,n}\\a_{2,1}&a_{2,2}&\cdots &a_{2,n}\\\vdots &\vdots &\ddots &\vdots \\a_{m,1}&a_{m,2}&\cdots &a_{m,n}\\\end{pmatrix}}}\end{array}}$
