Short

Short[expr]
prints as a short form of expr, less than about one line long.

Short[expr, n]
prints as a form of expr about n lines long.

Short[expr] gives a "skeleton form" of expr, with omitted sequences of k elements indicated by k.

Trying to feed k as obtained from Short back as input to Mathematica in StandardForm will generate an error.

Short is used to limit the length of output in standard Mathematica warning and other messages.
