A check box to Remove Local Formatting in an auto TOC.
You include a checkbox to Remove Forced Line Breaks in the text styles used for the auto TOC so why not one to Remove Local Formatting so the text style can display exactly the way you set it in the TOC styles dialogue. Now one must select all the text and set Character Style to None every time the TOC is updated which is inefficient. Thanks.

(because the "Create anchors" and "Remove line breaks" are not, for some strange reason)"Agreed!

Despite what this suggestion implies, however, applied character styles should **not** be removed, only local formatting overrides – or at least, character styles should only be removed with a separate button for “Remove Character Styles”.

This is a critical request.
Please allow us to remove local formatting when generating TOC entries. -

This is a basic problem with the TOC feature that has been there since its inception: any local override applied to a source paragraph will be applied unchanged to the TOC entry, regardless of the font or size difference. Tweak the leading in a 24 point chapter title, and the TOC entry will acquire that (wholly inappropriate) exact leading. It's the same when titles are kerned by hand. The TOC entries inherit the custom kerning, with bizarre results:
