bug#58103: [PATCH] docview: imenu access to table of contents

[Jose A Ortega Ruiz]

Tags: patch


Hi,

The patch below provides a quite simple implemetation of an imenu for
doc-view, using mutool.  That means of course that is limited to systems
where it's installed, and doesn't try to be too smart, but it's been
working quite well for me.  It needs a slight tweak to imenu.el to add a
knob inhibiting it to push all entries with submenus to the top, which
doesn't make sense when those entries represent sections of a TOC.

If this is acceptable (with any needed modification, of course), i guess
we could also add a bit of further customization, like perhaps a "flat
mode", or whether or not the section titles include page numbers, but
i'm not sure if that's desired (in my usage, i never want either).

Cheers,
jao
