Template:TOClimit/doc

__NOWYSIWYG__

Description
 is used to limit the number of levels to which a table of contents (TOC) will nest. It causes the TOC to omit subheadings lower than a certain level.

Usage
obeys the same layout rules as the  magic word.

You can specify the limit with the limit parameter; for instance, limit=3 allows ===subheadings=== but omits any subheadings below that from the TOC (they still have section edit links, however; the main use for this template is situations where you want section edit links for ease of editing but don't want to clutter the table of contents).
