This is used to create custom table of contents templates such as {{Category TOC}}. It replaces and suppresses the ToC that the wiki software would automatically generate.
Usage
Please note that this is solely for ease of maintaining existing templates. Please do not use this to write new templates: instead, browse through Category:Wikipedia table of contents templates and use an existing template. This code is one of the final pieces in cleaning up years of redundant and overlapping code in this area.
Parameters (optional)
- title
- The title to use for this ToC element. The default is Contents.
- align
- Sets the CSS float and clear properties, which forces this float underneath the side specified with this attribute. So,
align=rightwill place the element after all the right floating elements before it. Options areleft,right,center, ornone(default).
- clear
- Overrides the default CSS clear property set by the align parameter, which is not typically needed. Options are
left,right,both, ornone. The defaults areleftwhen|align=left,rightwhen|align=right,nonewhen|align=center, andleftwhen|align=none. Use|clear=noneto allow other floating elements to float next to the table of contents, and|clear=bothto force the table of contents to have nothing next to it.
- primary
- Set this to
falseif this ToC is not used as the primary ToC of a page. This makes sure that the title of this ToC does not show up in the primary ToC. A side effect of this is the disappearing of the show/hide toggle.
