Dashes as dittos

In an index or bibliography, an entry beginning with a long dash is a first-level entry, not a sub-entry, so it should be left-justified and preceded by a blank line. The long dash, which we represent with four hyphens, is like ditto marks, and stands for the first words of the entry just above: "Shakspeare," in the first instance and "Sheridan (Richard Brinsley)," in the second. (The asterisks are part of the text and should be retained as-is.)
