Correctly formatted text
[** top of page--no blank line] /* resolution offered to refer the papers, &c., to the Secretary of War, 654; the power of the House is called in question, 654; the resolution, in plain terms, is to [** rest of page omitted] */
Continued entries and sub-entries
This is a new sub-entry of the main entry that began on the previous page, so it is not preceded by a blank line, because it's a sub-entry, but it IS indented by 2 spaces, because it is the beginning of a sub-entry and not a continuation of one (that was shown in examples 03A-04A). If you formatted the previous page, you would know that, but otherwise, the only way to know whether it's a new sub-entry or a continuation is to look at the previous page. You can do that from 'Page Details' on the Project page.
To summarize:
- a main entry is preceded by a blank line (or two blank lines if it is the first one in its letter group and there is no 'heading' letter) and is left-justified
- a sub-entry is not preceded by a blank line, and is indented by two, four, etc. spaces, depending on its nesting level. Most Indexes have only one or two levels.
- when a sub-entry begins at the top of a page (like this one), rule #2 applies: indent it but do not precede it with any blank lines.
- when a sub-entry begins on one page and continues on the next page, don't do anything special with the first part, don't indent the continuation, and don't precede it with a blank line.
