Re: [PATCH v4 3/6] Documentation: user-manual: limit usage of ellipsis

[Ann T Ropea <bedhanger@gmx.de>]

Confusing the ellipsis with the three-dot operator should be made as
difficult as possible.

Signed-off-by: Ann T Ropea <bedhanger@gmx.de>

v2: rename patch series & focus on removal of ellipses
v3: env var instead of config option, use one-line comments where appropriate, preserve indent level
v4: improve env var handling (rename, helper func to query, docu)
