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

__NOEDITSECTION__ is also added if the edit links for each section are not required

If a page has fewer than four headings then 

__TOC__ is placed 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}}
