Hi,
In a name like J. R. R. Tolkien or F. D. R., are the initials considered three symbol-sequences and therefore a passage?

That’s a great question! Three spaced initials are, technically, a passage. However, using the passage indicator and terminator would add extra cells. It would be best to single cap these spaced initials.

Thanks! That makes sense. It did seem so awkward to treat it as a passage.
