Overview of indexes

An index is a major division, so use 4/2 spacing. Enclose all of it except the heading ("INDEX") in no-wrap.

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.

A new letter equals a new section; precede it by 2 blank lines.
