Mark up ellipses properly. They should be in roman. The item preceding
an ellipsis should be in the singular. Use unbreakable space between
metasyntactic variable and subsequent ellipsis.
Quoting groff_man_style(7):
• Symbols that are neither to be typed literally nor replaced at the
user’s discretion appear in the roman style; brackets surround
optional arguments, and an ellipsis indicates that the previous
syntactical element may be repeated arbitrarily.
[...]
• The dummy character escape sequence \& follows the ellipsis when
further text will follow after space on the output line, keeping
its last period from being interpreted as the end of a sentence
and causing additional inter‐sentence space to be placed after it.
[...]
