Hi Everyone,
I was wondering if anyone knows what section of the code and/or where to
find the code that determines whether or not to generate a Table of
Contents and then generates the TOC if required?
I have hopes to actually put the table of contents into a portlet (like
navigation and the toolbox are)

TOCs are auto-generated when 4 or more ==headings== exist, I believe.
You can force a TOC to appear on a page by inserting the magic word
__TOC__
(this will put the TOC wherever you put that magic word)
and likewise you can force a TOC to not appear on a page by inserting
the magic word
__NOTOC__
Apparently there is also __FORCETOC__.
From
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Section#Table_of_contents_.28TOC.29
It's possible for users to turn off TOCs in their preferences - the
'showtoc' option ("Show table of contents (for pages with more than 3
headings)": default is enabled==yes) under 'Misc'.
I think you'll find it tricky to put the TOC into the sidebar like the
navigation and toolbox. You can put it to the side by inserting
<div align="right">
__TOC__
</div>
on each page (or putting this in an appropriate template, and using it
on each page).
cheers
Brianna
