Template:TOC left
| File:Farm-Fresh css add.svg | This template uses TemplateStyles: |
Purpose
{{TOC left}} forces the auto-generated "Table of Contents" for an article to appear floated to the left side of the page (as seen left), in order to improve article layout.
Usage
Insert {{TOC left}} at the point in the article where you want the top of the Table of Contents box to appear. Use with {{Clear}} to prevent e.g. image collisions.
Cautions
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 skin's CSS file.
Unless the section in which the {{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.
