While the sidebar shows just the sub-toc, the topbar shows the upper part of the hierarchy (or can easily be configured to do so). See the top-bar in http://pylit.berlios.de/examples/pylit.py.html as an example. That said, it might indeed be desirable to have this info united in the sidebar. > A thread from May 2008 asked a similar (identical?) question but the > answer was that it was not possible without some refactoring.
