<br/>> This is more of a curiosity than anything. I was browsing the index in a
<br/>> book last night and I noticed that at the end of page ranges, common numbers
<br/>> are suppressed. For example 244-7 instead of 244-247 and 138-41 instead of
<br/>> 138-141. Is this simply to save space, or is there some kind of style
<br/>> recommendation for this? Thanks for any insight.
