Inserting a Table of contents (TOC)

For each page with more than three headings, a table of contents (TOC) is automatically generated from the section headings, unless:

__NOTOC__ is added to the top or bottom of the page

If a page has fewer than four headings then

__TOC__ is must be added where the TOC is required

To align the TOC to the right use:

<div style="float:right;">__TOC__</div>

To insert a TOC with no numbers use:

{{Toc right no-numbers}}
