The conversion to LaTeX replaces any occurrences of '...' to /ldots. That causes problems if the dots are followed by text, such as

as we and up with '\ldotsand'. Not knowing much of TeX, what is the proper way to shield a variable from surrounding text?

i think I would replace with {\ldots} instead.

Cool, thanks!

Now how can I fix that in xhtml2latex.xslt?

If I replace xsl:text\ldots</xsl:text> with xsl:text{\ldots}</xsl:text>

the braces end up escaped, eg '{\ldots}'.

Thanks
