Template:TOC navbar/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

{{TOC navbar}} forces the auto-generated Table of Contents for an article to appear centered in the middle of the page.

Usage

[edit]

Insert {{TOC navbar}} at the point in the article where you want the top of the Table of Contents to appear. Use with {{-}} or {{clear}} to prevent collision with text; use the clear parameter (see below) to prevent collision with images.

width
Set the CSS width.
limit (currently non-functional)
Limits the depth of subheadings shown. For instance using limit=4 will hide the fourth level and deeper subheadings in the hierarchy. And limit=2 will hide all subheadings leaving only the main headings. This works by hiding the lower levels with CSS. See Template:TOC limit/styles.css.

It should not be used in cases where a standard TOC is acceptable for the layout of the page; it should only be used for aesthetics on pages such as WikiProjects. See Help:Section#Floating the TOC for further guidelines.

Limitations

[edit]

Since the Vector 2022 skin forces the table of contents into a sidebar or a pop-up menu, this template does not control the placement of the TOC in that skin.

{{TOC navbar}} forces the auto-generated "Table of Contents" for an article to appear floated to the right side of the page (as seen right), in order to improve article layout.

Template parameters

This template prefers inline formatting of parameters.
