Ellipses in "Related Ideas"?

When "Forms Found in the English ULB" have ellipses, should we keep the ellipses in the "Related Ideas" line? At first I was thinking no because it would not be clear in the list what goes in between the ellipses, but now I think maybe we should. When people see the links (in BTT Writer or the PDFs), they will see the ellipses, so maybe we should keep them.

Some of the entries probably don't make sense without the ellipses, but if we can't find examples of that, then we could probably omit them: I wouldn't expect the user to be tracking the presence of the ellipses. But then again, if we take them out, we'll have a hard job restoring them if we find the users are confused. So I suggest they be retained.

We've been taking the ellipses out. Sometimes we replaced them with "someone" "him" or "something." Is there a way to do a search for those words in line 5?

Or should I just look at the files that have ellipses at the bottom and check line 5?

In the Restructure Branch
38 "kt" files have ellipses (in "Forms Found in the English ULB")
31 "other" files that Rick has worked have ellipses.

If it's easiest (or easy enough) to keep doing what we've been doing, let's do that.
