Обсуждение: Adding an table of contents in SGML

I would like to add a table of contents to the top of the 8.4 release
notes:

    http://developer.postgresql.org/pgdocs/postgres/release-8-4.html

Similar to the one at the top here:

    http://developer.postgresql.org/pgdocs/postgres/datatype.html

I tried poking around but didn't find any obvious way to do it.

Resist the temptation.  If you have so many sub-sections that it needs
its own table of contents, you have too many.

That is a chapter heading, not a section heading.

It is not that things are hard to find but rather that it would be good
to present a list at the top to give users a better handle on the
contents;  there are 276 items listed in the 8.4 release notes.  8.3 had
237, a 15% increase.

True, but it says, "Table of Contents", at the top of the list of
headings.

There is no support for creating table of contents for divisions below chapter
level.
