Just for the record: It works only if first you select the "book" node
or whatever node whose children you want to collapse or expand. But
the more fundamental problem is that, for example, if I do this on the
"book" level, then I will see only the top-level chapter titles, not
the whole hierarchy of the chapters and sect-s. Also, if a "chapter"
starts with "para"-s followed by "sect1"-s, then only the "sect1" will
be collapsed, so this ToC-like view will contain some "para" text too,
which of course has nothing to do in a ToC. That said, I don't see how
this can be used efficiently for navigation in general. Maybe in some
docs it works, but not in general.
