"When we omit words from the middle of the title, as with Burgner, we should replace the words with an ellipsis (three dots preceded and followed by a space). When we use only the first few words and omit the remainder, as with Linebaugh and Rediker, no ellipsis points are needed."
Is the same thing true for quoting text from a source? That is, is the ellipsis at the end of the quotation below non-standard/wrong/unnecessary?

Newonash, that's the standard
Newonash, that's the standard use of ellipses, whether we are quoting from book titles or other text.
