Ah got it - so that is what collapsed sidebar does (checking back it does 
work). I was hoping for something that would let me drill down into the table 
of contents; or expand the contents of the current chapter we are in or 
something.

I am not that up on the use of sphinx themes; Mark Leslie has done some great 
work in this area perhaps he has a suggestion. He has also successfully made 
PDFs using sphinx and may have some pointers for us.
