When a blank line and an opening no-wrap (or Block Quote) tag both occur at the very top of a page, some people prefer placing the tag first (as shown here), while others prefer placing the blank line first (outside the block). Currently (April, 2011), both are acceptable. In this 2-level index, the last sub-entry on this page clearly continues on next page (the phrase is incomplete and has no page number). It isn't hyphenated, so don't use a continuation asterisk, and don't leave a note. The post-processor will rejoin the rest of the sub-entry from the next page to the end of this. The next example is taken from that next page.
