According to _Chicago Manual of Style_ and my inquiries on the Index-L
listing, the following formats are correct for index items (note punctuation
and capitalization):
foo. See bar
foo, 23, 32. See also bar
foo, 23, 32. See also bar; bell
There is also an acceptable alternative style:
foo (see bar)
foo, 23, 32 (see also bar)
foo, 23, 32 (see also bar; bell)
IMO eplain.tex should adhere to one style or the other, preferably the first.
I am not competent to fix the code in eplain.tex. I only point out the need.
Probably LaTeX and Context need fixing also.
