Editing Ellipsis (section)

===TeX===

In the [[TeX]] typesetting system, the following types of ellipsis are available:
{| class="wikitable"
! Name !! Glyph !! TeX markup
|-
| Lower ellipsis
| style="text-align:center; vertical-align:bottom;"| <math>\ldots</math>
| <code>\ldots</code>
|-
| Centred ellipsis
| style="text-align:center;"| <math>\cdots</math>
| <code>\cdots</code>
|-
| Diagonal ellipsis
| style="text-align:center;"| <math>\ddots</math>
| <code>\ddots</code>
|-
| Vertical ellipsis
| style="text-align:center;"| <math>\vdots</math>
| <code>\vdots</code>
|}

In [[LaTeX]], the reverse orientation of <code>\ddots</code> can be achieved with <code>\reflectbox</code> provided by the <code>graphicx</code> package: <code>\reflectbox{\ddots}</code> yields [[File:Iddots black.svg|18px]].

With the <code>amsmath</code> package from [[AMS-Latex|AMS-LaTeX]], more specific ellipses are provided for math mode.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20180619212427/ftp://ftp.ams.org/pub/tex/doc/amsmath/amsldoc.pdf ''User's Guide for the <code>amsmath</code> Package''].
