To cater for situations where a desired listing crosses one or more page boundaries, a number of variants upon this template exist, all of which accept the same parameters (and silently ignore any which do not apply to them):

• {{dotted TOC page listing/top}}: permits specification of listing segment appearing above the page break.
• {{dotted TOC page listing/suspend}}: (normally appears in page footer) closes off listing processing for current page only.
• {{dotted TOC page listing/resume}}: (normally appears in page header) reopens listing processing for a new page.
• {{dotted TOC page listing/continue}}: (appears in subsequent body; not normally required) continues specification of entry component of listing on a new page, which will be completed only on yet another following page.
• {{dotted TOC page listing/bottom}}: (normally appears at top of page body) completes specification of entry component initiated on a prior page.

Note: use of the named parameters are preferred when working with any of the boundary-crossing templates above.

Applying {{dotted TOC page listing/top}}{{dotted TOC page listing/continue}}{{dotted TOC page listing/bottom}} (no intervening new-lines between template invocations; all bearing same parameter specifications) should produce the same result as using {{dotted TOC page listing}} with only minor deviations from the same parameters and values normally used in the core template.
