===Table of Contents===

If a page contains four or more sections, a table of contents will be automatically generated above the first section heading. If you would like to have a table of contents with less than four sections, or to have it appear in a different part of the page than the default location, just add the directive <nowiki> __TOC__ </nowiki> where you want the table to appear.

Sometimes it is not desirable to have a table of contents, and in those cases, the directive <nowiki> __NOTOC__ </nowiki> can be added in a separate line to the page.  (In this page, this directive has been used to suppress the table of contents).

===Sections and Subsections===
Sections and subsections can be created in a page using varying number of equal-to signs (=) to bound lines of text.  For example, the following text creates the shown sections/subsections:


  <nowiki>

=Section A=
==Section A.1==
==Section A.2==
=Section B=
==Section B.1==
===Section B.1.1===
===Section B.1.2===
==Section B.2==
=Section C=
</nowiki>

__NOTOC__

=Section A=
==Section A.1==
==Section A.2==
=Section B=
==Section B.1==
===Section B.1.1===
===Section B.1.2===
==Section B.2==
=Section C=
