# SectionerSeparatorsN

The `SectionerSeparatorsN` parameter specifies the fixed strings or regular expressions that the `Sectioner` import task uses to identify a suitable location in the content for inserting a section break. For example, you might prefer to split content on paragraph breaks "`%0A%0A`". If there was a large amount of content without paragraph breaks, the `Sectioner` import task would revert to splitting on punctuation.

A separator string can be specified as a fixed string or as a regular expression. A separator is treated as a regular expression if it begins with an open parenthesis “(“ and ends with closed parenthesis “)”. Fixed strings and regular expressions specified in the configuration are URL unescaped before use; this allows you to specify multi-byte and special characters.

Each `SectionerSeparatorsN` is a comma-separated list of possibly URL escaped separators. Separators in an earlier `SectionSeparators` list have priority over those later. Separators towards the left of a comma-separated list have priority over those toward the right.

Backslashes in a regular expression must appear in the configuration as “`\\`”. Commas in separators must be URL escaped as “`%2C`” or escaped as “`\,`”.

`SectionSeparators 0`, `1`, and `2` are set by default if none are specified in the configuration. If any `SectionerSeparators` are specified in the configuration, the defaults do not apply.
