How to skip FM heading paragraph style's indent in chm output?

In my FM19 document my heading2 paragraph style has Indent 6 mm. Looks great in the pdf output.

However, in my chm output I want these headings without any indent at all.

I've tried adjusting different Publish Settings/Style Mapping attributes for the paragraph style, but without any success. What can I do?

The FM paragraph style has 6 mm indent.

I've found that if I go to the sts file's style mapping, and set the block attribute Text-indent to -6 mm, the chm output becomes properly zero indented. 6 - 6 = 0!

Not ideal, but here is what you can do:

1) Create a template that has heading2 with no indent.

2) Create your PDF as normal.

3) Import the paragraph formats from your template to remove the indent.

4) Publish your chm.

5) Restore the indent by importing paragraph formats from your original template.

There may be a settings in your sts file to avoid this, but I don't know what it is.
