+====== Configuration Setting: sepchar ======
+This variable determines the character that separates words in a [[:pagename]] and that replaces characters not valid in a pagename.
+  * Type: Character (letter, digit, '_', '-', or '.')
+  * Default: ''_''
+The pagename is the component of the URL that specifies the page.  For example, by default the link [[doesn't exist|doesn't exist]] goes to the URL ''dokuwiki.org/doesn_t_exist''.  ''wiki:doesn_t_exist'' is the pagename.  The default sepchar is '_', so the apostrophe and the space each appear as an '_' in the link.
+By changing sepchar to another character, you can change the '_' to another character.  The valid sepchar characters are those that are valid in a pagename: letters, digits, underscore (''_''), dash (''-''), and dot (''.'').  The sepchar variable must contain **exactly** one character.
+//Be careful with this variable.//  By changing it you can make pages created under a previous sepchar inaccessible.  When you create a new page, the pagename becomes the file name for the page.  If you create pages with sepchar '_' and then later use sepchar '-', your links to those previously created pages will break because the links will change but the file names won't.
