@dots{}

Use the @dots{} command to generate an ellipsis, which is three dots in a row, appropriately spaced, like this: `...'. Do not simply write three periods in the input file; that would work for the Info file output, but would produce the wrong amount of space between the periods in the printed manual.

Similarly, the @enddots{} command helps you correctly set an end-of-sentence ellipsis (four dots).

Here is an ellipsis: ...

Here are three periods in a row: ...

In printed output, the three periods in a row are closer together than the dots in the ellipsis.
