[JS] I agree. In my particular case, I want the links to appear in the TOC;
but they can't. This requires redundant entries:
===== Publishers =====
==== Arrow ====
[[arrow]]
==== Bow ====
[[bow]]
==== Bullet ====
[[bullet]]
And so forth. It would be a lot cleaner if I could put the links themselves in
the TOC, somehow.
