Did you include tab stops when you set up the Reference Page formatting?
Probably you need to look for <$paratext> <$pagenum> and insert a tab
where the space is, for each level of heads for which you want
leaders.

I've just generated the TOC for a new book but 1) the leader lines aren't there and 2) the file is ignoring the tab set and putting the page numbers flush left to the chapter title text. I've imported the template formats into the new TOC several times but it's not picking up on the leader lines or the tab stop. (It's getting the font, font size and indent right, but losing the info about the leader lines and tabs.)
