How do I indicate that I've removed an entire sentence from a quoted paragraph? Consider the example paragraph below - if I want to quote this paragraph without the emboldened sentence, how might I do this?
This is an interesting sentence. Sadly, this one is irrelevant to me. The third sentence is amazing and should be included.
All of the advice I've found so far relates to removing words within a sentence. Based on that advice, I might consider something like the following as a solution:
"This is an interesting sentence. . . . . The third sentence is amazing and should be included."
Where I've included five periods - one to close the first sentence, three to indicate the removal of text and a final period to close the missing sentence. But this doesn't strike me as a solution that would scale well if I need to remove more than one sentences.
A closely related question is Quotations that skip paragraphsQuotations that skip paragraphs. Following the advice there, I might also solve this with the example below, although I'm not sure it applies well to mid-paragraph sentence removal.
"This is an interesting sentence." although later it is stated "The third sentence is amazing and should be included."
