Hi, My name is Ed. Retired from the Navy and from aerospace engineering. I have been "dabbling" with the pages of book authors that I have in my home library collection. I use the Library of Congress, Abebooks, Amazon, publisher sites and anything else that comes to mind for correct information. I am a total novice at this but enjoy the clean-up and creation activity. In particular, I have been listing ISBN's for initial book releases. This information is important to book collectors in locating 1st editions. Software is available to load a large amount of data into a database with a simple hand scanner. So, I am trying to learn more about cataloging books. Spent a ton of time correcting "invalid ISBN's". Great experience in dealing with a wide range of subject matter.



Table of contents

Any article with more than three headings automatically gets a table of contents (TOC). The TOC is placed above the first section heading. All text above the first section heading is commonly referred to as the lead section. Depending on the overall length of the article, this introduction should not exceed one to four paragraphs in length and should summarize the article's key points.

If you do not like the TOC placement in an article, you can move it by inserting __TOC__ where you would like it placed. If you do not want a TOC on a particular page, add the text __NOTOC__ anywhere on the page; if you, personally, do not like the TOC feature, you can disable it in your user preferences.
