maketoc

This is deprecated, and buggy, and will be removed. Please use Auto TOC instead.


maketoc stands for "Make a Table of Contents". It is used to automatically generate a table of contents from the headings (made with ! , !! , !!! , etc.) or ( !# , !!# ...) on the page that it appears on. It is useful for placing links to major sub-sections of a large document.

The tool PluginToc is something similar. It is used for structures of many pages. PluginToc will show a table of contents built from the titles of the pages within that structure of wiki pages.

 Warning
You may encounter problems if maketoc is used more than once on a page.
While the syntax used for maketoc is similar to the syntax used to call plugins, maketoc is not a plugin.

Also, only the lower case syntax may be used with maketoc as shown below. See Plugin Syntax for more information.

Example

This code:

Copy to clipboard
{maketoc title="On this page" showhide="y"}


Would produce on this page:

Customizing the style of the numbering

You can override the style of the automatic numbering of the headings with CSS (cascading style sheets).
Something like

Copy to clipboard
.wikitext ol {list-style-type: lower-roman;}


This can be added to the end of the stylesheet you're using, or put in a custom.css stylesheet in the directory or your theme.
