PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:

The std::toc include file uses pass 6 area substitutions internally 
which break when you use a <protect pass=6> around the <toc> tag...

For Example...

The code

	#include wml::std::toc style=ol

	<protect pass=6>
	<toc>
	</protect>
	<toc_h1>Chapter 1</toc_h1>
	<toc_h1>Chapter 2</toc_h1>
	<toc_h1>Chapter 3</toc_h1>

has this as the output:

	{:[[s|</ol>\n*<ol*[^>]*>||g]][[s|</ol>\n*<ol*[^>]*>||g]][[s|</ol>\n*<ol*[^>]*>||g]][[s|</ol>\n*<ol*[^>]*>||g]][[s|</ol>\n*<ol*[^>]*>||g]][[s|</ol>\n*<ol*[^>]*>||g]]
	<ol><li><a href="#ToC1"><strong>Chapter 1</strong></a>
	</ol>
	<ol><li><a href="#ToC2"><strong>Chapter 2</strong></a>
	</ol>
	<ol><li><a href="#ToC3"><strong>Chapter 3</strong></a>
	</ol>
	:}
	<a name="ToC1">Chapter 1</a>
	<a name="ToC2">Chapter 2</a>
	<a name="ToC3">Chapter 3</a>



I believe that in 1.7.2 that the code

	<protect pass=6>
	<toc>
	</protect>

worked correctly. 

I looked briefly into this and it seems to be due to the 
wml_include/std/toc.src file relying on pass 6 to perform some of its
formatting... but for the next month I am going to overworked so I can't
look into it further...


Thanks,


Thomas
