How to include a local table of contents into Sphinx doc?
I'm not 100% sure this is what you're looking for, but the .. contents:: directive may help. By default, it'll give you the headings for the whole page, wherever you put the directive. With :local: specified, it will generate a local TOC for the headings below where you put the directive (handy for sub-section tocs).
.. contents:: Table of Contents :depth: 3More details here: http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/ref/rst/directives.html#table-of-contents
I had more luck with:
.. contents:: Table of Contents :depth: 1 :local: :backlinks: noneThe backlinks gets rid of the annoying links back from the headings to the toc.
