Modifying Indent Sizes in TOC

[OonaMistwalker]

How can we modify the size of the indent used in the unordered list the TOC creates?

I'm merging a series of 3 books (or volumes) into one. Each volume is divided into parts; each part into chapters.

I'm using calibre 5.24 on ebooks I read with a Kindle 2, and the size of the indents knocks the names of the chapters farther to the right than I like.

Surely someone's covered this before, but I've looked and not found it. So just point me in the correct direction to find the info and I'll be grateful.

I'd use the editor for modifying the code.

I like to use inline TOCs

There's inline_toc_styles.css in

AppData\Roaming\calibre\resources\templates\inline _toc_styles.css

That allows some customization

li > ul {margin-bottom: 1em;
}

ul.level1 {
  padding-left: 0;
  font-weight: normal;
  font-size: 100%;
  margin-top: 1em;
  margin-left: 0;
  text-decoration: none;
}

ul.level2 {
  font-size: 100%;
}

ul.level3 {
  font-style: normal;
}

li {
  margin-top: 1em;
   list-style-type: none;
}

a { 
  text-decoration: none;
 color: black;
}

a:hover {
 border-top-style: solid;
  border-bottom-style: solid;
  padding-bottom: 2px;
 padding-top: 1px;
 border-top-width: 2px;
 border-bottom-width: 2px;
 color: white;
 background-color: black;
}
h2 {
  page-break-before: always;
  page-break-after: avoid;
  text-indent: 0;
  text-align: center;
  margin-top: 0;
  margin-bottom: 1em;
  font-size: 2.5em;
  font-weight: bold;
  font-style: normal;
  font-family: sans-serif;
}

Thanks, Phossler and sirtel, for the suggestions. I'll try them. I like in-line tables of contents too, however I use the TOC you reach with a button the most often. Especially when I'm deep into a multi-volume work. I use it to visualize the mental geography the author is laying out for readers.
