[Arnaud Vandyck <arnaud.vandyck@ulg.ac.be>]

Last december, I sent a mail to the DOCBOOK list:

| toc

|         +-- tocentry
|         +-- tocentry
|   +-- toc
|   +-- tocentry
| 
| So:
| 
| toc
|   +-- tocentry
|   +-- toc <--- if you click here
|   +-- toc
|   +-- tocentry
| 
| toc
|   +-- tocentry
|   +-- tocentry
| 
| Very sorry for my english! I hope every one understood!

I do not understand the response? Can anyone explain how I can
implement something like the layout I'd like to implement?

Do you think that overriding the 'toc' template to always show the
first nodes and the child nodes will be in the tabular...

Maybe a 'graphical' represantation will help:

+-----------------------------------------+
! banner                                  !
! all site toc (all the toc root nodes)   !
+-----------+-----------------------------+
! tocentry1 !                             !
! tocentry2 !                             !
! tocentry3 !                             !
...
+-----------+-----------------------------+

What is the best layout? How would you implement that? Did so already
do that?
