(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??
