In my Word documents, I expand the spacing in the ellipsis by 3pt., but conversion ignores it and give me dot-dot-dot squeezed together. Typically, when it converts, it looks like this: TEXT ... TEXT or: TEXT...TEXT
By adding a space between the dots, this is how I want it to look: TEXT. . .TEXT

When converting to an ebook, can Calibre detect this as an ellipsis and allow the line to break before or after, or is that determined by the reading device? Also, does Calibre recognize non-breaking spaces?
