Hi everyone!

I'm trying to write a thesis paper using Sphinx. One of the rare
difficulties I have in doing so is that my ToC has to follow my
preface (title, cover, (c), ack, abstract), because the latex builder
puts the call to `\tableofcontents` at the beginning of the document.

I have immediately dropped the idea that I would redefine the
`latex_elements['tableofcontents']` with my whole preface hardcoded
out of  hygienic reasons. I was going along the lines of doing
something in my master document:


.. This is the master document.

   It's content does not appear in the latex output.

Contents
=======

.. toctree::
   :hidden:

   copyright
   abstract
   contents

.. toctree::
   :maxdepth: 2

   preface
   introduction

And in the contents.rst to put:

.. The LaTeX ToC is rendered here.

.. only:: latex

\tableofcontents


But the backslash gets reformatted and does not appear in .tex output.
I guess this is a good indicator that I shouldn't be trying to put
latex markup into rst.

Is there any clean way to provide a custom position of the ToC in the
document?
