I agree. If we have a page with a plain structure when code is the king, 
no TOC will be useful.

I do like Colibri and I won't to overload its UI, but I think there is 
room enough in this line to add a TOC entry. At least for me, it is 
quite useful to be able to get an idea about a document structure at a 
glance. If it is locate there, we will be forced to navigate to the 
bottom of the page to get the TOC. I don't think this will be a problem, 
but IMO a clear way of going back to the TOC must be provided from any 
location on a page reached from an entry in the TOC. Sorry, but I don't 
know yet how to do it.

I will follow its development. Thanks.
