=== 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 __TOC__ where you want the table to appear.

Sometimes it is not desirable to have a table of contents, and in those cases, the directive __NOTOC__ 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:

<br />

 <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>

<br />

= 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 =
