Reply To: Index with no punctuation after entry word
Follow print here. Do not insert two spaces and do include Page/Pages as printed. The two spaces are shown and discussed for reference entries that are followed by definitions. The purpose is to clearly indicate where the entry leaves off and the definition begins when there is no other indication such as separating punctuation or capitalization. This can otherwise be a difficult distinction to make, especially in the case of multi-word entries. In the Index, the reader expects to be directed to a page, not a definition, and the print Page/Pages indicates exactly where the entry terminates even in the case of multi-word entries. Also note that the insertion of two spaces is mentioned only in regard to references involving definitions, not indexes.
