It would really be nice if the wiki included in fossil would include basic sections syntax as implemented in most major wiki.

An implementation of it could be: ==Section== ===Subsection=== ====Sub-subsection====

It would also be a nice addition if it included a table of contents (TOC) based on these sections.

More information on these requests can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_editing

It would make navigating through the wiki easier, could be useful in organizing information on a page and for maintainability.

/wiki_rules:

  1. Hyperlinks ... You can also link to internal anchor names using [#anchor-name], providing you have added the necessary "" tag to your wiki page.

  2. HTML. The following standard HTML elements may be used: ...

So, you can already achieve what you want, albeit by hand, and I would call it "Nice to have", not "Important".

I second this. It would be greate to use the wellknown wikisyntax with "==".

Adding such new features to the legacy wiki format seems highly unlikely at this point - closing ticket. Markdown has long since become the preferred format for most uses and supports a header syntax similar to (but not identical) to the one proposed in this ticket. Automatic generation of a table of contents has been discussed at length but ruled out for the time being because it's a lot more complex than it initially appears to be.
