need to tidy up some of the "Included in this Section" linkage, some sections have the entire TOC not just the relevant section Also, adding the TOC as click-able bookmarks would be nice

The "in this section" TOC listing issue is a known problem. :( However, I should be able to make the main TOC clickable. Thanks.
