Overview of indexes

A simple index. It's a major division, so use 4/2 spacing. Enclose all of it except the heading ("INDEX") in no-wrap.

Unwrap entries until you reach a sub-entry. If (only) the first entry of each section is in small-caps, leave it unmarked, in normal upper-lower-case. If an entry takes up more than one line, unwrap it onto a single line.

Leave a blank line between each primary entry; start each sub-entry on a new line, and indent sub-entries by 2 spaces, single-spaced.

New letter = New Section: precede by 2 blank lines.
