1 If you are using the sidebar plugin and have a header in the sidebar it shows up in the table of contents. I can see why this happens but it surprised me and wasn't the desired effect in my specific situation. -- [[AdamShand]]
3 A related side effect: If you use any sort of headers in the page
4 template (such as placing the page title in an `<h1>`), the toc plugin
5 picks it up. I suppose it parses the entire page rather than just the
6 rendered content. --[[JasonBlevins]]

10 Why doesn't the TOC appear in the edit page preview? It only appears when the page is finally rendered. This makes it somewhat difficult to organize headings, saving & re-editing all the time. My user page currently has a toc to play with: --[[sabr]]
14 Just ran into a side effect of `\[[!toc]]` being a NOP in pages
15 which are inlined: pages with `\[[!template id=note text="[[!toc]]"]]`
16 wound up having the note rendered in feeds as "Use this template
17 to insert a note into a page". Worked around this by making a local
18 copy of the template and removing its `<TMPL_UNLESS text>...</TMPL_UNLESS>`
19 section. Besides needing to generate guaranteed-unique anchor names,
20 are there other reasons this directive couldn't be made to work on
21 inlined pages? --[[schmonz]]

35 How could this be tampered to make another plugin that would enable partial listing so I could make multiple "subTOCs" in the same page? For instance I'd have a `\[[!toc startlevel=1 levels=1]]` in the top of the page while after a level 1 heading I would have a `\[[!toc startlevel=2]]` with the level 2 and below headers limited by the ones below this particular level 1 header --[[iuri]]
