Hurm. Good point about making the ellipses distinctive. I will have to go back over my changes and adjust them.

I understand your suggestion that I try to abridge the text instead of simply truncate it. Certainly there's a couple of ways to interpret Failbetter's wishes here. They've said, if not here, then in other forums, that they do not appreciate wholesale copying of their storytelling. In that spirit, revealing important clues about--in this case--the royal connections of the mysterious person is something that ought to be revealed in the game, not necessarily in the a wiki. IMO, rewriting their storytelling work in a shorter form is something that they might not appreciate, either. (I haven't seen anything from them that suggests otherwise--I'd be happy to be pointed to those references.)
