ellipsis renders weirdly in LaTeX

... in md (three characters) turns into … in LaTeX source (single character) turns into 
in LaTeX output.
I did a quick check and Pandoc automatically parses ... into unicode \8230 / horizontal ellipsis. One weakness of the Living Papers latex compiler is handling (or more aptly, current non-handling) of unicode, which I would love to handle in a robust and generalized manner. But for basic common things like ellipses a lookup table should suffice for now.
If you want to patch your fork in the meantime, simply add a case at this line:

You can have … map to \ldots{}.
FYI: I've been marking issues as "priority: medium" to indicate that I've been able to route around them for the purposes of my paper (though I expect they'll cause issues for future papers).
Fixed via lookup table.
