don't ever output two separate class elements

There's just this long box!" Use this template to make the TOC a floating table, so that the article text wraps around it. Now, sometimes a long TOC is just the best approach, as in [[Quotes/Speech]], where we want the reader to be able to choose from the full directory of conversations in the game, without any distracting text to the right. But for a more normal article like [[Daodan DLL]], it would look bad if the article started after the lengthy TOC. | ||
See the [[Template:TOClimit|TOClimit]] template if you just want to omit lower-level section headers from the TOC, but note that this TOCfloat template also offers the optional use of a "limit" parameter which accomplishes the same thing, allowing a combined approach to shortening the TOC. | See the [[Template:TOClimit|TOClimit]] template if you just want to omit lower-level section headers from the TOC, but note that this TOCfloat template also offers the optional use of a "limit" parameter which accomplishes the same thing, allowing a combined approach to shortening the TOC. | ||
