This template uses TemplateStyles

• Template:TOC limit/styles.css

Description

This template inserts a Table of Contents which omits subheadings lower than a certain level. The table obeys the same layout rules as the __TOC__ magic word. Omitted sections still have section edit links in the article body; the main use for this template is situations where you want section edit links for ease of editing but don't want to clutter the table of contents.

Usage

{{TOClimit}}

The template defaults to including only == level 2 == and === level 3 === headers. You can specify a different limit by adding a header level:

{{TOClimit|4}}

4 allows ==== level 4 headers ==== but omits any subheadings below that from the TOC.

The template works by hiding the lower levels with CSS. The normal wiki limit is set to 7. See MediaWiki:Common.css

Conflicts

This template does not interact well with the {{Tocright}}, {{TOCleft}}, {{TOCcenter}} templates. To achieve the correct effect, use those with a limit parameter.
