@@ -4,3 +4,28 @@ A related side effect: If you use any sort of headers in the page
 template (such as placing the page title in an `<h1>`), the toc plugin
 picks it up.  I suppose it parses the entire page rather than just the
 rendered content. --[[JasonBlevins]]

+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]]

+Just ran into a side effect of `\[[!toc]]` being a NOP in pages
+which are inlined: pages with `\[[!template id=note text="[[!toc]]"]]`
+wound up having the note rendered in feeds as "Use this template
+to insert a note into a page". Worked around this by making a local
+copy of the template and removing its `<TMPL_UNLESS text>...</TMPL_UNLESS>`
+section. Besides needing to generate guaranteed-unique anchor names,
+are there other reasons this directive couldn't be made to work on
+inlined pages?  --[[schmonz]]
