25<para>This parameter permits you
26to override the text to insert between
27the two numbers of a page range in an index.
28This parameter is only used by those XSL-FO processors
29that support an extension for generating such page ranges
30(such as XEP).</para>
31
32<para>Because this text may be locale dependent,
33this parameter's value is normally taken from a gentext
34template named 'range-separator' in the
35context 'index' in the stylesheet
36locale file for the language
37of the current document.
38This parameter can be used to override the gentext string,
39and would typically be used on the command line.
40This parameter would apply to all languages.
41</para>
42
43<para>So this text string can be customized in two ways.
44You can reset the default gentext string using
45the <parameter>local.l10n.xml</parameter> parameter, or you can
46override the gentext with the content of this parameter.
47The content can be a simple string, or it can be
48something more complex such as a call-template.

51<para>In HTML index output, section title references are used instead of
52page number references. So there are no page ranges
53and this parameter has no effect.
