Hi Lenz, I am not sure whether toctree only allows to include files in the same directory or below – have you tried include instead?
Anyway, you could try another approach. You can have multiple conf.py files in your project and you can call sphinxbuild with the option -c to use one of the files, eg: sphinx-build -c firstdocument.py -b latexpdf sourcedir builddir and sphinx-build -c seconddocument.py -b latexpdf sourcedir builddir Then you have to specify different start files in the configuration files and different files to be excluded from the build. That way you have all your files in one directory and build your output files according to the definitions in the two conf.py-files.
