Hello,
Most people use ... (dot dot dot) instead of … (the proper ellipsis mark), but dots are automatically removed at the end of a title.
Would that be possible to implement a specific case so that “dot dot dot” in titles are no longer removed (or even better: automatically replaced by ellipsis) ?
Cheers
While not specifically for an ellipsis, we do have the title prettify setting, which when disabled would allow for ... (it would also enable other things in titles like all caps and !!!! or ???? so you’d want to keep an eye out for bad titles)
You’d likely need a plugin if you wanted to check for ... and replace it with …
Are you running into titles that should have an ellipsis quite often? Our reasoning was that there isn’t much of a difference between
I'm not sure how to write a good title...
and
I'm not sure how to write a good title
Thank you for your answer.
I agree that a full stop makes no difference at the end of a title (and is not used, as a general rule, at the end of titles, headings or captions).
Conversely, ellipsis has several meanings and will definitely make a difference if present:
I sell a bike, a pair of skis, (slightly weird, is there something missing? And why merging these two items in a single topic?)
I sell a bike, a pair of skis, ... (ok, probably selling all my sports gear, there are plenty of things and I write a single message for everything, that makes sense).
I think there are quite a lot of examples, where ellipsis has an unfinished thought meaning, where a title would completely lost its meaning if ellipsis is absent:
This software is not the most user friendly one, but
This software is not the most user friendly one, but...
To my point of view, it would clearly be an improvement to the actual title prettify settings to allow this specific punctuation.
This will not be happening. If you want that odd case, disable the rule.
i will rather tune it so that it behaves exactly the way i want.
Thanks for your help
如果在新帖子的标题末尾添加三个ASCII句点，它们将被静默删除，从而改变用户标题的含义。
他可能永远不会注意到发生了什么。
我们更倾向于使用描述性的标题，因此以省略号结尾通常不受欢迎。
这源于 title prettify：
另外，请注意，您倾向于将所有用户称为“他”。如果您能减少性别化称呼/或许不那么频繁地使用第三人称，那将非常感激。
好吧，我猜这意味着我们都必须使用这个 Unicode 字符“…” 。
但我要告诉你，三个点不同于意外的多出一个句号，甚至两个句号。
否则，你还不如删除“？”，“！” 以及其他重要的标点符号。
我在“相似主题”中发现了这个，所以我要把它们合并在一起。 
今天在我们内部论坛发帖时遇到了这个问题。
我试图说明我们的产品过度使用省略号，标题是：
过度使用…
结果变成了
过度使用
一遍又一遍。
最终奏效的是
过度使用 . . . .
（必须使用 4 个，因为最后一个被自动删除了 
）
我想对于偶尔出现的情况，你可以使用 Jidanni 的变通方法，然后复制并粘贴该字符：
不过，当我用手机创建主题并将其标题设置为 Over-use of…（将三个句点输入为单独的字符）时，它也会将其转换为一个可用的/可见的省略号。不确定所有手机是否都会进行这种转换，但这可能是绕过限制的另一种方法。
