Dear Aditya and All,

is there a replacement of "hdotsfor" from LaTeX to fill
several cells in a matrix row with one long series of dots?

Not that I know of. Currently, you can manually do this using TeX primitives.

\startformula
 \startmathmatrix
   \NC a \NC b \NC c \NR
   \NC \spanomit\spanomit{\dotfill} \NR
   \NC e \NC d \NC adlsadjsak \NR
 \stopmathmatrix
 \startmathmatrix
   \NC a \NC b \NC c \NR
   \NC 45 \NC \omit\spanomit{\dotfill} \NR
   \NC e \NC d \NC adlsadjsak \NR
 \stopmathmatrix
\stopformula

"\multispan{num}{\dotfill}" may be an alternative for \omit\spanomit\spanomit\..., but half of the white space
separating columns has to be added before dots in any case.
How to do get that amount?
In the above examples dots appear to be shifted to the left
from the desired position.
    Sincerely, Michail
