We would like to include a foreword before the table of contents page
for a short introduction. Coming before the TOC, this presumably would
not be listed in the TOC.
Including text in the index file before the toctree directive seemed
like a way to do this:
Document Sample
===============
Foreword
--------
Welcome to this document!
.. toctree::
:numbered:
:maxdepth: 4
intro
...
When rendered to PDF, the Foreword title appears as the first title of
the TOC, and the "Welcome to this document!" text appears as the first
text in the intro chapter.
Some searching found people asking how to accomplish this, but no clear
answers. Can it be done?
The fall-back plan is to create a one-page PDF foreword and use a PDF
merge utility like pdftk to combine that with the PDF created by
sphinx. That's not elegant and introduces more dependencies. Is there
a better way?
