[Jed-users-l] [PATCH] TeX mode: Replace three dots by \ldots instead of {\ldots}

["Carlos R. Mafra" <crmafra2@xxxxxxxxx>]

[ Sending it again from the email address with which I'm subscribed. ]

In TeX's math mode, using {\ldots} instead of \ldots often leads to
ugly typographic results.

As a simple example, compare e.g.,

$$ (1,2,\ldots, N) $$

with

$$ (1,2,{\ldots}, N) $$

and notice how the spacing between the "last" dot and the comma in
the last case comes out wrong and looks ugly.

So change the automatic replacement of ... from {\ldots} to \ldots
in jed's TeX mode to fix this problem.

PS: It would be useful to change ... to \cdots if the last character
was either + or -, but I don't know how to do that.
