Hello,

Normally, when you add a "toctree" directive, Sphinx recurses into each 
file and adds section headings, down to the "maxdepth". I find this to be 
too much, usability-wise. Intuitively, I would expect one link per page. 
Having sub-links for all the sections makes the documentation look overly 
complex and way more overwhelming than it actually is. (Users who are 
familiar with Sphinx will know that most of the sub-links aren't separate 
pages, but that's only a small fraction of users.)

The ":titlesonly:" option fixes this, but at the cost of removing section 
headings from the sidebar when actually on the relevant page (at least when 
using the Alabaster theme...not sure about others). I don't want to lose 
those, because they serve as a useful "current page" table of contents.

Is there a way to display a table of contents on the index page while 
hiding section names? That way, Sphinx stores them and includes them in 
sidebars, but the main TOC is clean and non-overwhelming.

Thanks,
Nick
