Thanks. I took a quick look, that seems to be a good place to start understanding it.

I'm not at all familiar with the magic words handling stuff; I have a desire to be able to hide lower level headings absolutely (toclimit-3 for example) so I can use level 5 or 6 headings for a particular UI purpose without them showing up in the TOC.
According to a response on
https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Template_talk:TOClimit#What_a...
the effect is actually relative (i.e., a level 6 header directly under a level 1 header counts as "2 deep" not 6) rather than absolute. Wanting to see what's under the hood I downloaded 1.15.1 and started wandering around trying to figure out the magic words parsing and am immediately confused.
I know PHP acceptably well but this particular set of stuff is not giving me a good place to start figuring out the TOC formatting. I looked in ImagePage.php and at MediaWiki:Common.css and am not seeing where to start particularly - just grepping for "TOC" in * and following stuff down from there didn't help much so far.
Where do I need to start looking to understand how the TOC is actually produced?
I remember that when I've been parsed the page, some javascript was insterted into it to generate the TOC. Perhaps that code would help: skins/common/prefs.js // generate toc from prefs form, fold sections // XXX: needs testing on IE/Mac and safari // more comments to follow function tabbedprefs() { ...
this is taken from 1.14.1
