 The table of contents is normally inserted directly before the first headline
-of the file.  If you would like to get it to a different location, insert
-@code{#+TOC: headlines} at the desired location.  The depth of the table of
-contents is by default the same as the number of headline levels, but you can
-choose a smaller number, or turn off the table of contents entirely, by
-configuring the variable @code{org-export-with-toc}, or on a per-file basis

 @example
 #+OPTIONS: toc:2          (only to two levels in TOC)

+If you would like to move the table of contents to a different location, you
+should turn off the detault table using @code{org-export-with-toc} or
+@code{#+OPTIONS} and insert @code{#+TOC: headlines N} at the desired

+Multiple @code{#+TOC: headline} lines are allowed.  The same @code{TOC}
