Hey Christian, hello Daniel, hi list! Actually it's neither nor ... and both. If the ellipsis stands for a part of a word like in "son of a b..." (which would be "baker", I guess :)), it's without a space. But if it stands for a whole word or several words, there must be a space, like in "Once upon a time ...".
