Template:TOC left/doc

TOC left forces the auto-generated "Table of Contents" for a page to appear in a table that is floated to the left side of the page (as seen left), in order to improve page layout.

Usage
Insert  at the point in the page where you want the top of the Table of Contents box to appear. Use with - or clear to prevent collision with text; use the clear parameter (see below) to prevent collision with images.

Parameters (optional)

 * clear : Sets the CSS clear property, which forces this float underneath the side specified with this attribute. So,  (which is the default) will place the element after all the right floating elements before it.  Options are ,  ,  , or.


 * width: Set the CSS width.


 * limit: Limits the depth of subheadings shown.  For instance using   will hide the fourth level and deeper subheadings in the hierarchy.  And   will hide all subheadings leaving only the main headings.  This is implemented as a CSS class in the MediaWiki:Common.css.


 * Avoid placing the TOC in a visually poor location. Crossing a section division is probably a poor idea.
 * If the TOC is floated left of a bulleted list, the bullets will be hidden.
