I rather like the look of a centered list at times.
We ran into this problem with my skin, rosetrellis. I'd centered the
contents of the sidebar using the skin's CSS. This did not look good at
all when combined with the bulleted list in the sidebar at pmwiki.org.
My recommendation:
1a Use the skin and CSS to align the headings on individual pages, so
all pages look alike. This way there is no alignment info in the text
that gets copied to the TOC. (Ideally, there should be no style info at
all in the text that gets copied to the TOC. This gives the TOC routine
and/or the skin the most options.)
or
1b Not sure this will work. Put the wikitext alignment codes _outside_
the (:title:) directive. Again, there will be no style info in the text
that gets copied to the TOC. Problem is you have to do that on every
page with a title.
I had an alignment problem with the sidebar of the rosetrellis skin. The
skin centered it. Pmwiki.org used wikitext to make an un-numbered list.
The combination was ugly. Now the skin leaves alignment to the wikitext.
