General instructions

This table of contents is as simple as they get. Aligning the page numbers was not required by guidelines, but may save some time for the post-processor.

They are easy to do because there is so little to do:

  1. Leave four blank lines above "Contents";
  2. Leave two blank lines below "Contents";
  3. Leave at least six spaces before the page numbers.
  4. Left-justify everything else.
  5. Leave a blank line wherever you see a need for one; two if you must.
  6. Do all of the inline formatting.
  7. Enclose everything except "CONTENTS" in no-wraps.
  8. Don't unwrap/rejoin any lines.

Aligning page numbers, and possibly other items, is not necessary, but may help the post-processor.
