Hi Ken,
To clarify the terminology, you are describing here a minimum *length*
of TOC. The depth refers to the degree of nesting of sections.
There is no param that controls whether a TOC is omitted if its length
is below some minumum, but I can see how it would be a good idea.
For HTML output, you could customize the template named 'make.toc' in
html/autotoc.xsl. Where it says:
xsl:if test=$nodes
you could use something like:
xsl:if test=count($nodes) gt; 1
But $nodes contains only the first level entries for that TOC, not any
children of those nodes (which are handled by the 'subtoc' template).
So if you have a single section but it contains many subsections and
your TOC depth is two or more, then this test would skip the TOC when
there was more than one entry in the TOC. To be more precise, the
template would have to count the entries in all levels of the TOC, which
is a bit trickier.

Has anyone figured out a way to have a /minimum/ TOC depth? With HTML
output, I'll sometimes see a page that has a single TOC that simply
points to the first section -- in that case, it would be really nice to
just skip the TOC.
(On a related note, with chunk.first.sections turned off, even when
there are multiple items in the TOC, the first item will often be a link
to something that's already visible on the page, which is sometimes not
all that useful).
Thanks,
Ken
