Template:TOC limit/doc

This template inserts a Table of Contents which omits subheadings lower than a specified level. The table obeys the same layout rules as the 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:

The template defaults to including only == level 2 == and === level 3 === headers.

You can specify a different limit by adding a header level:

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

The template works by hiding the lower levels with CSS. See MediaWiki:Common.css.

This template does not interact well with the TOC right template.
