[TxMt] (Mulit)Markdown Convert to LaTeX problem

[Gerd Knops]

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
