Text below TOC headings:

Any text you enter in these two editing boxes will be inserted above and below the TOC tree with the topic entries. For example, you might want to enter the title of your project above the tree and a copyright notice below the tree. HTML tags are allowed.

The default code inserts the title of your project and links to the Keyword Index and Full-text Search panes (if activated in your settings). Please do not change this code unless you really understand how it works.

Format of TOC headings:

These settings define the formatting styles to be used for the headings in your TOC. You can use up to six levels. However, note that users will normally find anything more than a maximum of three levels generally and four in exceptional cases confusing and difficult to navigate.
