Embedded ellipsis in reading text

[mcurland]

NORMA does not parse an ellipsis (single character or 3 dots) in the fact editor or reading editor. These are treated like any other character. However, there is also nothing blocking a user from entering these characters on their own. When these ellipses are then combined with the ones we add on the diagram to keep the reading text short you have an ambiguous mess.

The discussed solution to this is to simple use named replacement fields (like an out-of-order n-ary) if there are any embedded ellipses in the formatted reading text.

There has also been a request to highlight each ellipsis character in this case (bold and red). Unfortunately, DSL diagrams does not support rich text in text shapes on the diagram, so using named replacement patterns when this occurs (very rarely) will have to suffice for now.
