	I have noticed that when I move my cursor over a link to a wiki document, I get a popup window that provides the first few lines from the referenced article. But sometimes, with articles I have created in this wiki, I get a statement that there is an issue with the preview of the article. That disturbed me. So I decided to find out why.

	Now, the problem is that if you include the TOC, or a header at any level, before any text, then the preview popup bubble just displays that nasty message saying there is an issue. Incidentally, this includes putting a header, whether in HTML or in Wiki markup, before any text.		Now, the problem is that if you include the TOC, or a header at any level, before any text, then the preview popup bubble just displays that nasty message saying there is an issue. Incidentally, this includes putting a header, whether in HTML or in Wiki markup, before any text.

			And it applies to links as well, at least to images. But putting an image reference immediately after a TOC inclusion will display the image as part of the preview. That could be a very good thing. For example, place your cursor over the following reference: [[29 Apr, 2023 Minutes]]

	So - bottom line - (or top line?) - put some plain text in the top of your article. This is one reason to '''<big>include a synopsis of your article as the first part of it</big>'''. It allows that preview popup bubble to display something about the article before the viewer actually clicks on it to see the whole article.

-A TOC can follow the initial text before the header or after the header.
-= First Level 1 Heading =
+My researches have indicated to me that the problem is with the use of chapter headings and table of contents inclusions.
-No auto TOC yet
-TOC after first header __TOC__
+First off, the wiki processor will include a table of contents automatically if you have at least a specific number of headings. I believe that number is 4. I read that somewhere, but have lost the help page that told me that. <span style="text-decoration:underline; font-style:italic;">(Those help pages are so obscure, hidden, and not organized to my liking at all.)</span> And they can be at any level (2 through 5 are provided in the editor's tool bar; but heading level 1 does exist as well, sort of as a substitute for a page title, though). The default TOC appears to always be placed to the left of your text, at the top of the page.
-A second TOC request is ignored.
- = Second L1 Heading =
+----
- = Fourth L1 Heading =
+Here's my latest test case. And the results of testing in a table.
