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'.
