is there a replacement of "hdotsfor" from LaTeX to fill several cells in a matrix row with one long series of dots?
Not that I know of. Currently, you can manually do this using TeX primitives.
\startformula \startmathmatrix \NC a \NC b \NC c \NR \NC \spanomit\spanomit{\dotfill} \NR \NC e \NC d \NC adlsadjsak \NR \stopmathmatrix \startmathmatrix \NC a \NC b \NC c \NR \NC 45 \NC \omit\spanomit{\dotfill} \NR \NC e \NC d \NC adlsadjsak \NR \stopmathmatrix \stopformula
"\multispan{num}{\dotfill}" may be an alternative for \omit\spanomit\spanomit\..., but half of the white space separating columns has to be added before dots in any case. How to do get that amount? In the above examples dots appear to be shifted to the left from the desired position. Sincerely, Michail
