15.17.

When items carry several reference marks, the superior-figure reference precedes an asterisk, dagger, or similar character used for reference.

15.18.

A superior reference mark follows all punctuation marks except a dash, but falls inside a closing parenthesis or bracket if applying only to matter within the parentheses or brackets.

15.19.

Two or more superior footnote references occurring together are separated by thin spaces.

Indexes and tables of contents

15.20.

Indexes and tables of contents are set in the same style as the text, except that See and see also are set in italic.

15.21.

Where a word occurs in an index page column, either alone or with a figure, it is set flush on the right. If the word extends back into the leaders, it is preceded by an en space.

15.22.

For better appearance, Roman numerals should be set in small caps in the figure columns of tables of contents and indexes.

15.23.

In indexes set with leaders, if the page numbers will not fit in the leader line, the first number only is set in that line and the other numbers are overrun. If the entry makes three or more lines and the last line of figures is not full, do not use a period at the end.
