Summary

This template places a table of contents (TOC) at the location where the template is. The only difference from a standard TOC is that the subheaders shown in the TOC can be controlled, using the limit parameter.

This template was originally copied from Wikipedia.

Parameters

TOClimit

Parameter	Scope	Description
1 or limit	required	The limit to place on the subheaders shown in the TOC. limit=4 is the same as the default wiki settings. limit=2 would only show level-1 or level-2 headers (=...= or ==...==). Values below 2 are ignored by the MediaWiki software, resulting in a normal TOC.
align	optional	Specify left or right to align the TOC left or right. This is functionally identical to using {{TOCleft|limit=x}}.
clear	optional	Changes the setting for the CSS clear parameter, other content to appear below the TOC on the side(s) specified. Possible values are left, right, both, or none. (Default is the same as the align parameter.)
max-width	optional	The maximum width of the table. Percentage or units are both acceptable; the unit or percent sign must be specified.
nopadding	optional	If a value is specified, removes the extra padding around the TOC. This can be useful when the TOC is placed next to headers or images, for example.

Example

{{TOClimit|2}}

Demonstration

Notice that this section, being under a level-3 header, does not show in the TOC.
