| <para>This parameter permits you to override the text to insert between |
| page references in a formatted index entry. Typically |
| that would be a comma and a space. |
| </para> |
| |
| <para>Because this text may be locale dependent, |
| this parameter's value is normally taken from a gentext |
| template named 'number-separator' in the |
| context 'index' in the stylesheet |
| locale file for the language |
| of the current document. |
| This parameter can be used to override the gentext string, |
| and would typically be used on the command line. |
| This parameter would apply to all languages. |
| </para> |
| |
| <para>So this text string can be customized in two ways. |
| You can reset the default gentext string using |
| the <parameter>local.l10n.xml</parameter> parameter, or you can |
| override the gentext with the content of this parameter. |
| The content can be a simple string, or it can be |
| something more complex such as a call-template. |
| </para> |
| |
| <para>In HTML index output, section title references are used instead of |
| page number references. This punctuation appears between |
| such section titles in an HTML index. |
