Subheading Style in Book Indexing
|
| |
- An indented index has each subheading on its own line.
|
"Indented" format works well, if you have sufficient space for the index.
|
|
"Indented" format makes browsing through the index much easier.
|
|
"Indented" format is generally the preferred style. It is easier to read,
for example:
|
| |
resources
college courses, 187-88
horse trainers, 190-92, 200-202
lectures, 187
magazines, 182-83
riding instructors, 189-90
seminars and clinics, 188-89
videos, 186-87
|
- A run-in index, has subheadings immediately following on another,
separated by a semicolon and a space.
|
"Run-in" format may be appropriate, if you have limited page space.
|
|
"Run-in" format is generally more difficult to read, for example:
|
| |
resources. college courses, 187-88; horse trainers, 190-92, 200-
202; lectures, 187; magazines, 182-83; riding instructors,
189-90; seminars and clinics, 188-89; videos, 186-87 |
