None of these answers really helped me until I just looked it up on Wikipedia.

In the middle of a sentence, space-dot-space-dot-space-dot-space (3 dots).

Ex) Feel the breeze . . . and smell the air.

At the end of a sentence, no-space-dot-space-dot-space-dot-space-dot (4 dots).

Ex) I can't feel my legs. . . . But I can feel my arms.

This is all according to MLA. For APA and everything else, different rules apply.
