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}}
