Unwrapping entries

As the Formatting Guidelines explain, index entries should be unwrapped into single lines, REGARDLESS OF THEIR LENGTHS. The very long line that resulted from doing this with this example is so long that it may cause display problems in some web browsers.

Earlier examples showed lengthy Index entries that included sub-entries, usually separated by semi-colons. Sub-entries begin on new lines, indented and single-spaced. The current example contains no sub-entries, so just keep unwrapping it until it's one very long line.
