It appears to me that the parameters that control the placement and content
of tocs apply at a document level. What I am wondering is if it is possible
to to set different values for 'generate.toc', 'toc.section.depth',
'toc.max.dept' etc for different chapters/appendices?

In my document (being output as chunked html) most chapters/appendices only
need a table of contents at the top of the chapter with
toc.section.depth=2, toc.max.depth=2.  There are some chapters with
considerable detail that would benefit from also having a table of contents
inserted at the top sect3 with toc.max.depth=1.  And there is one appendix
that only needs one toc at the top with a max depth of 1.

Is there an easy way to obtain this variety?  Or am I heading down the path
to madness?

Thanks,

Tom
