[2013/03/03]
The documentation has again being extended:
* it is explained how to convert the TOC data into a tree in the
standard TikZ syntax (rather than the Qtree syntax used in the
previous documentation release from two days ago). And this time,
hyperlinks are functional (which explains why I felt like
announcing it world wide). The examples use the `grow cyclic'
style (from the TikZ trees library) and produce `molecule-type'
TOCs.
* it is detailed how to tell the ableofcontents command to
produce paragraphs of the following type: This chapter contains
5 sections and 17 subsections. The name of the first subsection
is `Do not read me' and the name of the last is `I told you so'.

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1.07e [2013/03/01]
The minor updates during the previous month have brought some
various improvments to the code, and relatively important changes:
* v1.07b removed the xspace previously used in etocname,
etocnumber, etocpage. This could mean that some sources will
have to be edited, my apologies for that.
* v1.07e (this update) completely modifies the (unsatisfactory)
use of penalties and vertical spaces in the package `own line
styles'. The changes could cause documents having made use of
these etoc default line styles to compile a bit differently,
my apologies for that.
The documentation has been gradually extended to include more and
more examples of various uses of the package. Are now explained,
among others:
* an example of an `inline' TOC with the subsections and the
sub-subsections being typeset as footnotes to the sections,
* an example of a TOC using the LaTeX default layout except for
the subsections of one given section,
* an example of a TOC listing all TOCs of the documents,
* an example of a subsection which is itself a TOC on three
columns displaying all subsections of the document,
* and the latest addition: a TOC displayed as a tree. (uses tikz
and package tikz-qtree).
