To generate a Table of Contents "tree" outline from individual tiddlers. 
start by picking a tag to use as the "root tag" of your toc tree.  Any 
tiddlers tagged with the root tag will appear at the top level of the toc 
tree.  To create additional levels, just create new tiddlers and tag each 
of them with the title of a tiddler already in the tree, and those tiddlers 
will appear as a level below that existing tiddler.

To display the Table of Contents, write <<toc ROOTTAG>> where ROOTTAG is 
the tag you chose for your starting point.

NOTE: be very careful not to tag a tiddler with the name of one of it's 
"children", or you will create an infinite recursion loop, where a tiddler 
is it's own "grandchild".  If this happens, the <<toc>> macro keeps trying 
to render deeper and deeper into a never ending tree, and the entire 
document become non-responsive and you have to wait for it to timeout and 
then reload the whole window (without being able to save first).

You can avoid this problem simply by making sure that all the tags in your 
toc tree form a clean hierarchy, a top-down "tagsonomy", without any cycles.

hope this helps,
