Purpose

{{TOCleft}} forces the auto-generated Table of Contents for an article to appear in a table that is floated to the left side of the page (as seen left), in order to improve article layout.

Usage

Insert {{TOCleft}} at the point in the article where you want the top of the Table of Contents box to appear. Use with {{-}}, {{clearleft}}, or {{clearright}} to prevent images coalitions.

Cautions

Do not use this template to just force word warp around the TOC, as this is inappropriate method of achieving this. Instead add a CSS class to your monobook.css file which will apply site wide.

This template should not be used when the result is to place the TOC in a visually poor location. A TOC that crosses a section division is probably a poor idea, if that can be avoided.

Unless the section in which the {{TOCleft}} 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.

It should only be used in cases where the TOC gets in the way of other content or is detrimental to the layout of the page; it should not simply be used for aesthetics since it tampers with the standard appearance of articles. See Help:Section#Floating the TOC for further guidelines.
