I've created a new tiddler with just "<<toc>>" in the text but no TOC is displayed. I can't seem to get any macro to work in this tiddler. I'm using a standalone wiki, and editing with TiddlyDesktop, but viewing in Chrome.

Yes, macros often require some parameter as input. In the TOC examples and doc you'll note that this particular macro requires a tag "that identifies the top level of the tree". Otherwise the macro will not know what you want the ToC to show.

Thanks, I'm so new that I didn't grasp the idea of the TOC documentation being a tag.
