## Ellipses
|
||||
|
||||
The ellipsis, represented by a series of three periods (...), has two special
|
||||
functions in the interface:
|
||||
|
||||
- Eliding text
|
||||
- Foreshadowing additional user input
|
||||
|
||||
The first occurs programmatically, but the second requires care when setting
|
||||
text manually.
|
||||
|
||||
Control text which implies an action whose effect is incomplete pending further
|
||||
user input should end in an ellipsis. Opening a new window does not in itself
|
||||
justify the use of an ellipsis; the dialog must be an intermediate step toward
|
||||
completing the action.
|
||||
|
||||
Ellipses should be used sparingly elsewhere to avoid confusion with elision.
