I got no response to the below post. Is this such a well-known

Don't answer that last one.
(d) Both (a) and (b).
As I understand it, William, this is not a bug; FM is working as
designed. Formatting overrides are not carried over to generated files,
so your CTRL-I has no effect in the TOC.
Character tags *are* carried over to generated files, so your italic tag
does appear in the TOC. The method FM uses to delimit hyperlinks is to
look for a change of tag. So your link ends when the character tag starts.
Perhaps someone else can offer a work-around; I don't know the answer
myself. Perhaps the use of an italicized variable?? Framescript??
Good luck,

I assume there is some very important reason for the following behavior.
[Frame 7.2, WinXP, Unstructured]
When I italicize a chapter or section heading using the CTRL-I, the
generated TOC file does not retain the formatting, but maintains the
cross-reference all the way to the end of the line. Hence:
4.1 Heading with /Italic/ Text
renders as:
4.1 Heading with Italic Text.......22
in the TOC, with the whole line linking to the heading on p. 22, but
the word Italic now rendered in roman.
If, on the other hand, I use an Italic (Emphasis) character format, I
get the formatting in the generated TOC, but the link breaks at the
tag boundary. The generated TOC line thus appears as:
4.1 Heading with /Italic/ Text........22
However, the link breaks at the boundary between "with" and "Italic."
It there any way around this? Call me a dreamer, but I really want the
formatting to come through *and* the link not to be broken when I
generate a TOC.
Thanks in advance.
