I am using the fulltoc extension to display the table of contents in the sidebar.
The global table of contents is defined in the global index.rst file. It is actually composed of a series of toctrees basically:
.. toctree::
:caption: Getting Started
gettingStarted/overview
gettingStarted/section1
gettingStarted/section2
.. toctree::
:caption: Next Large section
group2/overview
group2/section1
group2/etc
The overview.rst contains a description of each section and a toctree of the sections that follow. In the folder gettingStarted this file looks like:
Overview
========
This is a description of the section.
.. toctree::
section1
section2
The problem is that when looking at the page gettingStarted/overview the sidebar displays the sub-toc, which makes redundant entries:
Getting Started
- Overview
- section1
- section2
- section1
- section2
where I would rather have
Getting Started
- Overview
- section1
- section2
One work around is to lower the :maxdepth:, but then the sidebar won't expand sub-sections when reading from a section (such as gettingStarted/section1).
I also found the rubric directive but cannot figure out how to make it work on a toctree.
How can I prevent the sub-TOCs from being indexed into the global TOC?
