> Surprisingly, the generated file (TOC) appears to be:

You have to realize that until you have formatted the TOC,
FM always generates a very basic bare-bone TOC formatting
from the start. That's why you have to open the Reference
page "TOC" in your newly generated TOC file and edit it.

For each paragraph tag that you have chosen to inlcude in
the TOC setup, an accompanying TOC formatting tag is created
on the Reference page, for instance "ChapterTOC".
You use "building blocks" like <$paranum>, <$paratext> and
<$pagenum> to tell FM what parts of the corresponding source
paragraphs in the source files you want to appear in the
TOC, and in which order. You can then format the paragraphs
on the Reference page with fonts, indents, tabs, etc. to
have it appear the way you want.

If you use <$chapnum> to get Chapter Numbering in your book,
and to achieve page numbering like "1-1", you also need to
add "<$chapnum>-<$pagenum>" on the TOC Reference page.

When you've made a change to a paragraph on the Reference
page, you need to Update All in the Paragraph Designer,
and often you also need to re-generate the TOC to see how
your changes turns out in the TOC. It's a bit of a trial-
and-error process until you get it right.
