Template:TOC right/doc

TOC right forces the auto-generated Table of Contents for a page to appear in a table that is floated to the right side of the page, 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/toc.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.

Cautions
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). Also, a TOC that crosses a section division is probably a poor idea, if that can be avoided.

Unless the section in which the TOC right is placed is long enough, the result may well be undesirable.

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. See Help:Editing for further guidelines.
