I used Superscript (Registered symbol) in the headings, but when I generate FM TOC, it is not picking superscript. Please suggest solution.

    If you have a Character Format applied to a text string picked up for generated content, such as ToC:

    • The fix:
      The generated file, e.g. BookToc.fm, must have that Character Format in its catalog, but…
    • Fixing that breaks hypertext:
      FM doesn't have separate start:end markers for hypertext regions, and parses them on various boundaries, including Character Formats. This is a long-standing limitation in FM that is unlikely to get revised.

    The work-arounds are:

    • Accept the broken link (works for print).
    • Accept the lack of superscript.
    • Use a font in which the problem character is natively superscripted.

    Are you using a Character Format to superscript the character in the headings? If not, try that. Character formats should carry over into your generated files.
