Template:TOC left
Purpose
{{TOC left}} forces the auto-generated "Table of Contents" for an article to appear floated to the left side of the page (as seen left), in order to improve article layout.
Usage
Insert {{TOC left}}
at the point in the article where you want the top of the Table of Contents box to appear. Use with {{clear}} to prevent e.g. image collisions. To remove the small default margin/padding included above the box, set |top=0
(or, to customize it, use |top=(a value)
).
Cautions
Do not place this template so that the TOC aligns with a large image or infobox; this breaks the layout on narrow screens (even users with screens as wide as 1024px wide can have problems). Also, a TOC that crosses a section division is probably a poor idea, if that can be avoided.
Unless the section in which the {{TOC left}} is placed is long enough, the result may well be undesirable. Note particularly that if the TOC is floated left of a bulleted list, the bullets will be hidden.
