+
+<para>This parameter permits you to override
+the text to insert between
+the end of an index term and its list of page references.
+Typically that might 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 'term-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
+fill in the content for this normally empty 
+override parameter.
+The content can be a simple string, or it can be
+something more complex such as a call-template.
+For fo output, it could be an <tag>fo:leader</tag>
+element to provide space of a specific length, or a dot leader.
