Purpose
{{TOC left}} forces the auto-generated "Table of Contents" for an article to appear floated to the left side of the page (as seen left), in order to improve article layout.
Usage
Insert {{TOC left}} at the point in the article where you want the top of the Table of Contents box to appear. Use with {{clear}} to prevent e.g. image collisions.
Cautions
Do not use this template to just force word wrap around the TOC, as this is an inappropriate method of achieving this. Instead add a CSS class to your current skin's .css file, which will apply site wide. Go to Special:Mypage/skin.css, which redirects to your current skin's CSS file.
Unless the section in which the {{TOC left}} 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.

| Parameter | Description | Type | Status | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Clear | clear | Sets the CSS clear property, which forces this float underneath the side specified with this attribute. So, clear=left (which is the default) will place the element after all the right floating elements before it. Options are left, right, both, or none. | String | optional |
| Limit | limit | Limits the depth of subheadings shown. For instance using limit=4 will hide the fourth level and deeper subheadings in the hierarchy. And limit=2 will hide all subheadings leaving only the main headings. This works by hiding the lower levels with CSS | Number | optional |
| Width | width 1 | Overrides the CSS width | Unknown | optional |
