Specifying the text style of a table of contents

You can alter the appearance of the text of a reference list, such as changing the font or underlining the text.

For responsive projects, you can conveniently scale the text within a table of contents. This is helpful when adjusting how the text in a table of contents appears within the different device views for responsive projects.
