[PATCH v2 1/2] Documentation: html: show sections in the sidebar

Antonin Godard <[email protected]>
Newsgroups gmane.linux.kernel,gmane.linux.documentation
Message-ID <[email protected]>
The current sidebar in the HTML version of the documentation does not
display the section titles because the toctree directives in the
top-level index.rst document do not contain ":caption:" properties.
Replacing the current section titles by ":caption:" properties would not
allow having text between those and the table of contents.

To workaround this issue, add the ":caption:" properties in the toctree
calls which makes them show up in the sidebar, but hide them from the
index page with a custom CSS addition.
