-- Info panel (counter) will be followed by a horizontal separator by default
+- Info panel (match counter) will be followed by a horizontal separator by
+  default
+    - Use `--no-separator` or `--separator=''` to hide the separator
+    - You can specify an arbitrary string that is repeated to form the
+      horizontal separator. e.g. `--separator=╸`
     - The color of the separator can be customized via `--color=separator:...`
-    - Separator can be disabled by adding `:nosep` to `--info`
-        - `--info=nosep`
-        - `--info=inline:nosep`
+    - ANSI color codes are also supported

+  fzf --separator=$(lolcat -f -F 1.4 <<< ▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▆▅▄▃▂▁▁) --info=inline

 - Added `--border=bold` and `--border=double` along with
