David,

thanks for your work on this! May you enjoy it and learn a lot of useful
things. And when you are ready, then come and help us to make our docs
<https://www.lino-framework.org/> better ;-)

a) you can have subtiltles and several toctree directives
b) you can have different levels of pages that contain a toctree directive

a)

Main title
=======

subtitle
---------


.. toctree::
   :maxdepth: 2

appendix
-------------

.. toctree::
   :maxdepth: 2


b) file index.rst:

Main title
=======

.. toctree::

   a
   b
   appendix

And file a.rst:

First part
=======

.. toctree::

  chapter1
  chapter2
