Template:TOC Limit/doc

This template inserts a Table of Contents which omits subheadings lower than a certain 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.

Conflicts
This template does not interact well with the tocright, TOC left, TOC center templates. To achieve the correct effect, use those with a limit parameter. For example, has the effect that  and  would have—if they worked together.
