Identifying entries and sub-entries

As the Formatting Guidelines explain, Index entries should be unwrapped into single lines, REGARDLESS OF THEIR LENGTHS. This screenshot is not nearly wide enough to show the entire very long line that resulted from doing that with this example. 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.
