Both ways have disadvantages. Blockquotes as you see have a large indent. is not going to have an indented left margin if the text wraps onto the next line. Unfortunately, I don't know how one would prepare an input document (if it's possible) to not put the TOC into blockquotes.

Hi User:
I have noticed that in my InDesign-generated mobi TOC that the text wraps around and flushes left, which looks messy.
Why must blockquotes have such a large indent? Is this not programmer-dependent? Is this something that Calibre can change for future versions or is this some universal HTML thing where it isn't adjustable? If the former, as a user I would suggest the current aesthetics of the blockquotes are not pleasing.
One other thing I think needs to be addressed is the automatic removal of duplicate header entries. I noticed that when Calibre builds the TOC using the forced entries option, it removes duplicates. This is a problem for manuals like the one I am writing where each chapter ends with "Case Study: Baby Jane" and "Useful Links." Not good at all, IMHO. I would suggest removing this feature.
