Divora, You do not need to work on the index.
Smile, is not "core content" and frankly is a pain in the hind end to edit
anyway.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] yikes, index has problems
I'm just finishing up carefully going through a 300 plus page book with
lots of endnotes. Everything has been fine, I've been working with a
print copy of the book in front of me. But I just got to the index, the
fourteen page index, two columns on each page. Some topics have
subtopics, which are indented. What I have is a hodge-podge, with the
scanner sometimes using hard returns, sometimes not, no spaces between
page numbers, etc.
I would appreciate expert advice about formatting the index. This is my
first time with a complicated index. Should I use hard returns for each
entry? Should I use tab stops for the subtopics?
Do I need to put spaces between page numbers?
Here is an example
