I was a bit woolly in my description, and on checking, I'm wrong as well. AFAIK, the sidebar is 'built' by taking info from an html file specified for your theme. For my setup, that's C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\Sphinx-1.0b2-py2.6.egg\sphinx\themes\basic\globaltoc.html
Can you use the function localtoc instead? -----Original Message----- From: sphinx-dev@googlegroups.com [mailto:sphinx-...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of andreash Sent: 11 August 2010 11:45 To: sphinx-dev Subject: [sphinx-dev] Re: modifications to the toctree() template function I don't understand what you mean. What's the difference between 'compile time' and 'runtime'? The toctree() template function takes parameters, which means that it is evaluated when the HTML files are built. So it should just be a matter of extending the Sphinx function which the template toctree() function calls. But which is that? And how would I start?
