I'm working with Sphinx (sphinx-1.2b1-py2.7). I want a TOC to appear in a sidebar. It seems binary: I can only get both a TOC in the sidebar and a bulleted list in the body of the text, or I get nothing (no TOC in the sidebar and no bulleted list).
When I use the toctree directive like this:
.. toctree::
:hidden:
Topic1
Topic2
Result: no TOC in the sidebar, no bulleted list of topics in body.
When I use the toctree directive like this:
.. toctree::
Topic1
Topic2
Result: TOC in the sidebar AND a bulleted list of topics in the body.
I just want the TOC in the sidebar. Other commands (maxdepth, includehidden) don't work. I've seen it done, but cannot get it to work. The conf.py looks fine, but no luck after several days of searching for an answer. Thanks.
