You can do this, but you will need to know php to attempt this.

In your custom skin, (or monobook.php skin file) you can override the function to do this.

Directly under where you define all the parameters of the skin

class mySkin extends SkinTemplate {

   function initPage( OutputPage $out ) {
           parent::initPage( $out );
           $this->skinname  = 'mySkin';
           $this->stylename = 'mySkin';
           $this->template  = 'mySkinTemplate';
   }

ADD THIS

   function tocList($toc) {
           global $wgJsMimeType;
           $title = wfMsgHtml('toc') ;


           return =
              '<table id="toc" class="toc" summary="' . $title

.'"><tr><td>' . '<div id="toctitle"><h2>' . $title . "</h2></div>\n" . $toc # no trailing newline, script should not be wrapped in a # paragraph . "</ul>\n</td></tr></table>" . '<script type="' . $wgJsMimeType . '">' . ' if (window.showTocToggle) {' . ' var tocShowText = "' . Xml::escapeJsString( wfMsg('showtoc') ) . '";' . ' var tocHideText = "' . Xml::escapeJsString( wfMsg('hidetoc') ) . '";' . ' showTocToggle();' . ' } ' . "</script>\n"; }

This will over ride the TOC making function. You just need to tweak this to work better for your needs (that is the standard look).

I think you would need to do some sort of loop, to make the 4 columns.
