قالب:TOC left
Purpose
[تعديل]{{TOCleft}}
This template forces the auto-generated Table of Contents for an article to appear in a table that is floated to the left side of the page, in order to improve article layout.
Usage
[تعديل]Example and cautions
[تعديل]← look to the left
Maybe be used with a {{-}} as to prevent images colliding with the TOC.
Note that this template should not be used when the result is to place the TOC in a visually poor location. A TOC that crosses a section division is probably a poor idea, if that can be avoided.
Unless the section in which the {{TOCleft}} is placed is long enough, the result may well be undesirable. Note particularly that if the TOC is floated left of a bulleted list, the bullets will be hidden.
An MOS entry on when to use this template, and the parallel template {{TOCright}} would probably be a good idea. A discussion is now (as of 7 July 2005) in progress at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style#Template:TOCright.
In general, it is probably better to insert {{TOCleft}} after the lead section, or at least the first paragraph.
