string to the current user's language only if it has such string in its translation table for that language.
- Amperstands (
&) followed by one letter (one of a...z, A...Z) (say, X) in the translatable string will be translated to <span class='twikiAccessKey'>X</span>. This is used to implement access keys. If you want to write an actual amperstand that stays just before a letter, write two consecutive amperstands (&&): they will be transformed in just one.
- translatable string starting with underscores (
_) are reserved. You cannot use translatable phrases starting with an underscore.
- Make sure that the translatable string is constant. Specially, do not include
%VARIABLES% inside the translatable strings (since they will get expanded before the %MAKETEXT{...}% itself is handled).

Useful to show the expanded text, e.g. to show the result of a SpreadSheetPlugin %CALC{}% instead of the formula | Raw text | multiple="on" | Multiple hits per topic. Each hit can be formatted. The last token is used in case of a regular expression ";" and search | Only one hit per topic | nofinalnewline="on" | If on, the search variable does not end in a line by itself.

TOC -- table of contents of current topic
TOC{"Topic"} -- table of contents
- Table of Contents. Shows a TOC that is generated automatically based on headings of a topic. Headings in WikiSyntax (
"---++ text") and HTML ("<h2>text</h2>") are taken into account. Any heading text after "!!" is excluded from the TOC; for example, write "---+!! text" if you do not want to list a header in the TOC
- Syntax:
%TOC{"SomeTopic" ...}%
- Supported parameters:
| Parameter: | Description: | Default: | "TopicName" | topic name | Current topic | web="Name" | Name of web | Current web | depth="2" | Limit depth of headings shown in TOC | 6 | title="Some text" | Title to appear at top of TOC | none |
- Example:
%TOC{depth="2"}%
- Example:
%TOC{"TWikiDocumentation" web="TWiki" title="Contents:"}%
- Example: see TWiki:Sandbox.TestTopicInclude
- Hint: TOC will generate links to the headings, so when a reader clicks on a heading it will jump straight where that heading is anchored in the text. If you have two headings with exactly the same text, then their anchors will also be identical and they won't be able to jump to them. To make the anchors unique, you can add an invisible HTML comment to the text of the heading. This will be hidden in normal view, but will force the anchors to be different. For example, ---+ Heading <!--5-->.

Example: %SEARCH{ "%URLPARAM{ "search" encode="quotes" }%" noheader="on" }%
- When used in a template topic, this variable will be expanded when the template is used to create a new topic. See TWikiTemplates#TemplateTopicsVars for details.
- Watch out for TWiki internal parameters, such as
rev, skin, template, topic, web; they have a special meaning in TWiki. Common parameters and view script specific parameters are documented at TWikiScripts.
- If you have
%URLPARAM{ in the value of a URL parameter, it will be modified to %<nop>URLPARAM{. This is to prevent an infinite loop during expansion.
- There is a risk that this variable could be misused for cross-site scripting.
