::::But that's all contrived stuff. ''The part that actually interests me'': If we expand to include areas outside of mathematics, is there a general rule for how high to put the ellipses? In this more general context I wonder how my preference to put the ellipses at the level roughly where the start of the omitted text would be balances with the preference to put the ellipsis at the level where the last of the previous not-omitted text is. Perhaps the answer is boring (at least for English): is it that only in mathematics do we ever use anything other than ldots? —[[User:Quantling|<span class="texhtml"><i>Q</i></span>uantling]]&nbsp;([[User talk:Quantling|talk]]&nbsp;&#124;&nbsp;[[Special:Contributions/Quantling|contribs]]) 14:14, 16 July 2025 (UTC)

:::::FWIW, ChatGPT disagrees with me: {{!tq|Does the level that the ellipsis is placed depend upon the omitted text's level or the level of the surrounding text?}} {{tq|... the placement of an ellipsis depends primarily on the level and type of the surrounding text—not on the content that is being omitted.}} —[[User:Quantling|<span class="texhtml"><i>Q</i></span>uantling]]&nbsp;([[User talk:Quantling|talk]]&nbsp;&#124;&nbsp;[[Special:Contributions/Quantling|contribs]]) 15:22, 16 July 2025 (UTC)
