The conversion to LaTeX replaces any occurrences of '...' to /ldots. That causes problems if the dots are followed by text, such as
...and then there were three.
as we and up with '\ldotsand'. Not knowing much of TeX, what is the proper way to shield a variable from surrounding text?
Thanks

Right. Macros swallow whitespace that follows them. That's so you can tell them apart from the following text, as in your example. If you need the space you have to put in a backslash: '\ldots\ and' would put a space between the dots and the 'and'.

FYI - recent versions of MMD use {\ldots}, so if you're having this problem you probably have an old version installed.
