Template:LeftTOCwrap

The text-formatting Template:LeftTOCwrap floats the standard Wikipedia Table-of-Contents (TOC) box to the left margin (as typical), while also allowing any subsequent text to wrap alongside the right of the TOC box (as shown below).

Usage restrictions
The Template:LeftTOCwrap is intended for limited use within pages that have long Table-of-Contents (TOC) boxes, to shorten the page by allowing right-side text. However, any nearby infoboxes or right-side images might overlap and eclipse text, so usage is limited depending on those nearby boxes/images. As a fix, due to formatting issues in the MediaWiki software, eclipsing of text can be avoided by also using a left-side image, placed after or under template "{ {LeftTOCwrap}}" (could be even a small image, using "" ). The joint combination of using LeftTOCwrap followed by a left-side image avoids eclipsing of text near infoboxes or right-side images.

To force other text below the TOC, use template "{ {-}}" which creates a section break.
