I moved the hidden toctrees to their introductory documents instead of the main index document, and it's working great.
Example: index.rst: .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 :name: main intro common_tasks settings_overview common_tasks.rst: .. _common_tasks: =============== Common Tasks =============== This article gives overview information about various configuration tasks. .. toctree:: :hidden: :maxdepth: 1 :name: common_tasks_toc task1_info task2_info task3_info The "orphan" tag is still being processed as a table header or something in 1.4.8 - but I just won't use it, no big deal. Thanks.
