# MandatorySeparators

A comma-separated list of separators. The document content is split at every occurrence of any of these separators. The current section will end immediately after the separator and a new section is created for the following content. If a mandatory separator is found in the document, the minimum section length (`SectionerMinBytes`) and maximum number of sections (`MaxSections`) are ignored.

If the separator is not enclosed in brackets then it is treated as a literal string. The content is split wherever this string occurs. You must URL-encode string values.

If the separator is enclosed in brackets then it is treated as a regular expression. The document is split wherever a match is found for this regular expression in the content.

Type: | String
Default: | There are no default mandatory separators
Required | No
Configuration Section: | The configured section or Sectioning
Example: | In the following example, the content is split wherever the phrase "SECTION END" occurs, and wherever the regular expression `Page \d+` is matched. `MandatorySeparators=SECTION%20END,(Page \d+)`
