*Converted the table of contents on wiki pages from <table> to <div> and adjusted skin CSS accordingly. The CSS was carefully crafted to be backwards-compatible in all reasonable cases (uses of the <nowiki>__TOC__</nowiki> magic word, the #toc CSS id and the .toc CSS class). However, particularly bad abuse of the id or the class can possibly break. | *Converted the table of contents on wiki pages from <nowiki><table></nowiki> to <nowiki><div></nowiki> and adjusted skin CSS accordingly.
