Template:Compact ToC

---

{{#invoke:Message box|ombox}}

Purpose

This Table of Contents replacement for alphabetical lists provides all the features of Template:CompactTOC7, plus ones from Template:CompactTOC2, etc. that #7 doesn't have (the "Top" "0-9" sections, optionally), and allows you to select what other sections you want. Even the centering is optional, and you can have the "Contents" heading on the top (default) or the side.

Usage

{{CompactTOC8|side=yes|center=yes|nobreak=yes|top=yes|num=yes|sym=yes|symnum=yes|seealso=yes|refs=yes|notes=yes|extlinks=yes}}

or

{{CompactTOC8
|side=yes
|center=yes
|right=
|nobreak=yes
|top=yes
|num=yes
|sym=yes
|symnum=
|seealso=yes
|refs=yes
|notes=yes
|extlinks=yes
}}

for all features (leave off or change to "no" to disable a feature}}

Parameters

• side=yes — put the "Contents" heading on the left side with a colon, instead of the top without one
• center=yes — center to ToC in the horizontal middle of the page, instead of floated left
• right=yes — align the ToC horizontally to the right of the page (may require <br style="clear:right;" /> after it, depending on page layout), instead of floated left (this parameter is mutually exclusive with the "center" option above, and should be used sparingly and with good reason)
• nobreak=yes — no linebreak between the A-B-C-etc. stuff and the See also/References/etc. stuff (note: does not affect the heading; use side= for that)
• top=yes — enable the "Top" link; this is only useful if this copy of the ToC is at the bottom (or middle, theoretically) of the page, as a secondary ToC (requires <span name="top"></span> at the top of the page)
• sym=yes — enable the "!$@" link for symbolic entries section
• num=yes — enable the "0–9" link for numeric entries section (note that it is "–", the en-dash, not "-", the hyphen-minus at upper right of most keyboards)
• symnum=yes — enable the "!–9" link for combined symbolic and numeric entries section (note that it is "–" not "-", and that the preceding two options are mutually exclusive with this one)
• seealso=yes — enable link to the "See also" section (note that it is plural)
• refs=yes — enable link to the "References" section (note that it is plural)
• notes=yes — enable link to the "Notes" section (note that it is plural)
• extlinks=yes — enable link to the "External links" section
