Just noticed there is a example in Simplified Chinese. I believe that both in Simplified and Traditional Chinese, leader are using "⋯"[MIDLINE HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS]. Especially in vertical writing books.[1] [1]:https://www.dropbox.com/sh/t1lo7llf77ijrl1/00dvNkMkNI In movable type, the solution is : 自左拾遺移官華州又離 輾轉至同谷時期的詩作⋯⋯四十二 But in books now it always be: 自左拾遺移官華州又離 ⋯⋯四十二 輾轉至同谷時期的詩作 Both are ok, and when meet long heading like this, editor always asks to split the heading into 2 line.
