Text Formatting Rules > Floatbox, Anchorpoint

While it's technically possible, there's no good reason to.

I tried that, although I didn't have any luck getting it to render properly, unless using list formatting inside the box is improper.

It's mainly for readability reasons, since the page I was hoping to use it on has a fairly extensive description, and being able to jump to sections would make it easier to read.

Listing in a box is tricky, you should look up other pages where they are, like large trope indexes.

That description sounds like it needs trimming or folders then.

(For the record, the page is Transgender).

I don't disagree, although I'm also hesitant to remove things, in the event that something important gets lost along the way. From what I've read of the trope, there's not actually that much excess, there's just a lot to cover.
