Index subtopics separators

[3darkman]

By default the publisher separates the subtopics of a topic through the line break, but it would be interesting if we could inform what would be the character of this separation, for example ";" which is what I'm using in a book and I'll need to edit it manually.

Another important point is that it separates the topics/subtopics from the page number with a space, but I would like to add a comma. It allows you to define a specific character, but it always puts that character after a space, it's one more thing I need to change manually.

Just for reference, these two features are available in InDesign.

I don't see that (or I don't understand you). Here I used a :: as the separator, and there's no space before it. There is a space after it.

Oops. That one had the separator as ":: ".  Here's one with just a ","

For your other one, I agree some more flexibility would be nice.

OMG!!! I hadn't noticed that there were two spaces in the separator field. Your answer made me check it again and I finally noticed the spaces. 

tks!!!

Really what i needed now was just that i could change the line break between subtopics.

Unfortunately, that's not possible, and will take manual effort.
