=== Table of Contents ===
<!-- ==== Placement of the Table of Contents (TOC) ==== -->
At the current status of the wiki markup language, having at least four headers on a page triggers the TOC to appear in front of the first header (or after introductory sections).  Putting <nowiki>__TOC__</nowiki> anywhere forces the TOC to appear at that point (instead of just before the first header).  Putting <nowiki>__NOTOC__</nowiki> anywhere forces the TOC to disappear.  See also [[Wikipedia:Section#Compact_TOC|compact TOC]] for alphabet and year headings.

DOESN'T WORK AFTER UPGRADING TO MEDIAWIKI 1.5

====Keeping headings out of the Table of Contents====
If you want some subheadings to not appear in the Table of Contents, then make the following replacements.

Replace  <nowiki> == Header 2 == with <h2> Header 2 </h2> </nowiki>

Replace  <nowiki> === Header 3 === with <h3> Header 3 </h3> </nowiki>

And so forth.

For example, notice that the following header has the same font as the other subheaders to this "Tables" section, but the following header does not appear in the Table of Contents for this page.

<h4> This header has the h4 font, but is NOT in the Table of Contents (actually, it is)</h4>

This effect is obtained by the following line of code.

<code><nowiki><h4> This header has the h4 font, but is NOT in the Table of Contents </h4></nowiki></code>

Note that when editing by section, this approach places the text between the tags in the subsequent section, not the previous section. To edit this text, click the edit link next to "Tables", not the one above.
