Hi,

When generating html files, the information in the current section comes before
the information for each of its child sections; i.e., the document is designed
to be read from any node down the tree.
If I put my toctree commands directly after the title for a section, latexpdf
puts the information for the children before the information for the parent.
background for this is that LaTeX document is a linear structure ; LaTeX itself
does not build a tree of its contents. A toctree directive will trigger
inclusion at this spot of the latex translation of children
If I put my toctree commands at the end of a section, latexpdf's table of
contents puts the children for the current section below the last heading for
the current section, instead of directly below the title for the current
section.
again, due to linear structure and the table of contents is built-up linearly
via raw latex directives of a somewhat hacky nature it could be possible to
silence the table of contents build-up from title of section to inclusion of
children,
to permute the info would be even more hacky at latex level as it would require
a whole apparatus for that (if working only at latex level)
How do I get latexpdf to generate output like the children are at the end of
each section and table of contents like the children are under the title for
each section ?
- for first question, I am currently not knowledgeable enough on Sphinx toctree
handling to answer,
- for second question, as hinted above it is possible to make sectional units
between title and children invisible to LaTeX table of contents ; if you want
to keep the info, then I guess you are asking necessarily for a tree-like
rendering of the LaTeX table of contents in PDF output which however is a
single linear document. This basically means a LaTeX package dedicated to tree
like rendering of table of contents.
To make things invisible to the pdf table of contents
.. raw:: latex
\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\setcounter{tocdepth}{-2}}
at start of material to be skipped (the contents will still be in text of pdf,
only table of contents entry are made invisible)
and
.. raw:: latex
\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\setcounter{tocdepth}{1}}
at end (assuming "manual", for "howto", use {2} in place of {1})
with some LaTeX guru having time it could be possible to do things like
.. raw:: latex
\addtocontents{toc}{" start storing the upcoming TOC data but do not display it
yet "}
and
.. raw:: latex
\addtocontents{toc}{" deliver now the stored TOC data (hoping hyperlinks will
work by the way) "}
To achieve more, i.e. tree-like storage and rendering basically means a whole
LaTeX package I think,
