If you use the Markup Extensions, you may wish to install the
latest version, which tidies up the tool tips over the links
which toc-page generates. See

Yes, I dithered over which way to go. I eventually plumped for
(:toc-page PageName:) over (:toc page=PageName:) for these reasons:
- other directives, such as include and redirect are of the form
  (:directive PageName:) so I followed this convention, although
  I suspect there are exceptions

- it made sense to me that (:toc-page Page Name:) with a space 
  would just work, whereas to be consistent with other directives
  one would probably write (:toc page='Page Name':) which didn't
  seem quite as tidy

- I chose to take the other parameters from the (:toc:) on
  PageName, rather than making (:toc-page PageName:) deal
  with them -- this made implementation a *lot* simpler

However, I don't feel strongly either way and will change it
if page=PageName is preferred :)
