clarify that the equal sign is in the headlines, not the body (c.f. comments); type-editing; used blockquote for increased clarity

As I understand when article for print is shown online it gets this separator. Does equals sign inside body works similar? I can across it too. Or do you think this question deserves a separate thread on site? | |

Different news organizations use different symbols: Jiji uses "=" and '-', Yomiuri uses '…', Asahi uses space. I think a lot of news organizations use space. | |
