I think you've got it, more or less. Take this example from the Chicago Manual
of style (<a href="https://www.press.uchicago.edu/Misc/Chicago/CHIIndexingComplete.pdf">https://www.press.uchicago.edu/Misc/Chicago/CHIIndexingComplete.pdf</a>):
"World War I 34-61"
Such a big range would be tedious to index every page, but no problem if you
only had to index the first and last page of the range.</pre>
