	{{tl\|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.		{{Documentation subpage}}
			{{Notice\|It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.\|''NOTICE:'' This is a documentation subpage for [[:{{SUBJECTSPACE}}:{{BASEPAGENAME}}]]}}<br />

			The <kbd style="font-size: 1.15em; font-weight: 800;"><nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:TOC left\|TOC left]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki></kbd> template 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 ==		== Usage ==
	Insert ~~<code>{{~~TOC left~~}}</code>~~ at the point in the page where you want the top of the Table of Contents box to appear. Use with {{tl\|-}} or {{tl\|~~clear~~}} to prevent collision with text; use the '''clear''' ~~parameter~~ (see below) to prevent collision with images.		Insert {{Tlx\|TOC left}} at the point in the page where you want the top of the Table of Contents box to appear. Use with {{Tl\|-}} or {{Tl\|Clear}} to prevent collision with text; use the '''clear''' attribute (see below) to prevent collision with images.
			* 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.

	~~<!-- EDIT TEMPLATE DOCUMENTATION BELOW THIS LINE -~~->

	== ~~Purpose~~ ==		== Usage ==
	{{~~TOC left~~}}		Insert <code>{{TOC left}}</code> at the point in the article where you want the top of the Table of Contents box to appear. Use with {{tl\|-}} or {{tl\|clear}} to prevent images collisions.
	{{tl\|~~{{BASEPAGENAME~~}}~~}} forces the auto-generated "Table of Contents" for an article to appear in a table that is floated to the left side of the page (as seen left), in order~~ to ~~improve article layout~~.

	== ~~Usage~~ ==		=== Parameters (optional) ===
	Insert <code>{{TOC left}}</code> at the point in the article where you want the top of the Table of Contents box to appear. Use with {{tl\|-}} or {{tl\|clear}} to prevent images collisions. See [[John Vanbrugh]] for a live example.

	~~== Cautions ==~~		;clear : Sets the [[w:Cascading Style Sheets\|CSS]] clear property, which forces this float underneath the side specified with this attribute. So, <code>clear=right</code> (which is the default) will place the element after all the right floating elements before it. Options are <code>left</code>, <code>right</code>, <code>both</code>, or <code>none</code>.
	~~Do not use this template to just force word wrap around~~ the ~~TOC~~, as this ~~is an inappropriate method of achieving~~ this. ~~Instead add a CSS class to your current skin's .css file~~, which will ~~apply site wide~~. ~~Go to [[Special:Mypage~~/~~skin.css]]~~, ~~which redirects to your current [[WP:SKIN\|skin]]'s CSS file~~.

	~~Do not place this template so that the TOC aligns with a large image or infobox~~; ~~this breaks~~ the ~~layout on narrow screens (even users with screens as wide as 1024px wide can have problems).~~		;width: Set the CSS width.
	~~Also, a TOC that crosses a section division is probably a poor idea, if that can be avoided~~.

	~~Unless~~ the ~~section~~ in ~~which~~ the ~~{{tl\|TOC left}} is placed is long enough,~~ the ~~result may well be undesirable~~. ~~Note particularly that if the TOC~~ is ~~floated left of~~ a ~~bulleted list,~~ the ~~bullets will be hidden~~.		;limit: Limits the depth of subheadings shown. For instance using <code>limit=4</code> will hide the fourth level and deeper subheadings in the hierarchy. And <code>limit=2</code> will hide all subheadings leaving only the main headings. This is implemented as a CSS class in the [[MediaWiki:Common.css]].

	~~It should only be used in cases where~~ the TOC ~~gets~~ in the ~~way of other content or~~ is ~~detrimental to the layout~~ of the ~~page; it should ''not'' simply~~ be ~~used for aesthetics since it tampers with the standard appearance of articles. See [[Help:Section#Floating the TOC]] for further guidelines~~.		* 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.
