I am very new to sphinx and am having a problem...

I use the autodoc extension and for each of my
modules I have a .rst file like:

  :mod:`util` Module
  ==============================

  .. automodule:: lib.util

This is ok but lib.util contains several dozen
classes and functions, each with a detailed doc-
string.  The result is a very large HTMl file
that one has to do a lot of scrolling through
to find what one is looking for.  Finding things
is even worse because I use the
  "autodoc_member_order='bysource'"
config option.

I would like a small table at the top of the resulting
html file, one line per class/function, with a clickable
link to the class or function that is documented
in full later in the file.  (Having a separate ToC file
with a maxdepth that shows the module contents
is not a good solution in this environment; I want
a class/function list at the top of the full doc file
like one sees with FAQs where a list of question
links is at the top followed by the all the full
question/answers.)

I tried adding an autosummary directive to the
.rst file above, but it seems autosummary requires
me to explicitly list every class/function which
rather defeats the "auto" part!

Since this seems like a common need I'm guessing
there is a well-known solution that I am just not
seeing.  A clue would be appreciated.
