What is the proper way in english printing to show that some text has been removed from a quote? In (brazilian) Portuguese, we use [...], for instance: Depois de mencionadas outras questões, comentou-se o ocorrido. can quoted as [...] comentou-se o ocorrido. Is there a name for that? Thanks, Maurício
