Make page numbers distinct in index produced by bibleref package

Question

I'm using the the bibleref package, along with the attrib, verse, and multind packages, to cite verses from the bible and produce an index at the end of the document with the verse list and corresponding page numbers. Here is an MWE:

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

% Quoting Bible passages
\usepackage{attrib}
\def\PreTrib{} \def\PostTrib{} % We'll do our own parens, thanks!
\usepackage{verse}
\usepackage{bibleref}
% Custom macros
\def\V#1 {\(^{#1}\)}
\def\vattrib#1#2{\attrib{(\ibibleverse{#1}#2)}}

% Indexing of Bible verse citations 
\usepackage{multind}
\makeindex{scripture}
\renewcommand{\biblerefindex}{\index{scripture}}
\biblerefstyle{default}
\begin{document}

\begin{verse}
\V{4} Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore ease thou somewhat the grievous servitude of thy father, and his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and we will serve thee. \vattrib{IIChronicles}{(10:4)}
\end{verse}

\clearpage

        \begin{verse}
        \V{1} In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. \vattrib{Genesis}{(1:1)}
        \end{verse}

\clearpage

\printindex{scripture}{Index of Scripture References}

\end{document}

The problem is that the index (shown below) produced by the above code puts the page numbers mighty close to the verse citations, and only separated by a comma, so that is almost looks like the page numbers are part of the citations.

How can I make the page numbers clearly distinct from the verse/chapter numbers? For example, how can I align the page numbers on the right side of the document with leading ldots? Or, how can I add the word "page" immediately to the left of the page numbers? Or any other creative solution someone can think of...?

Answer 1

You can put a symbol in place of the ", " for the delimiter by using a style file input to makeindex.

For instance, with style.ist containing:

delim_0 " $\\bullet$ "
delim_1 " $\\bullet$ "
delim_2 " $\\bullet$ "

You would then run makeindex -s style.ist texdocument. The changed delims will alter the code that is placed between the item (of various levels in the index) and its first page number. Note that the backslash needs to be escaped. See some documentation here.

I think ideally, you might use a symbol that is sized somewhere between \bullet and \cdot, but I didn't find one quickly that would be suitable. Or maybe \cdot would work fine for you. Also, you might try --- for a em-dash.

The result should appear as:
