Subheading Style in Book Indexing

Subheadings, which appear beneath the heading, can be formatted in either of two ways: " indented" or run-in".
 
  • 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
