This was previously discussed in the summer; Jan asked about it.

When you're clicked through a few options in a chapter, you've
been staring at the highlighted second-level TOC changing.  It's
not obvious how to get back to the first page, if you want to see
the overview of pages in that chapter again.  This is a problem in
the old website.

It might be obvious to some people with a CS background and
knowledge of trees, but I remember being confused by this more
than 5 years ago.  And if I can get confused, I'm certain that
other people can get confused.


I'll entertain a renaming (if introduction wasn't already taken,
we could use that; I suppose we could even duplicate the
chapter-name instead of (main)).  I've already asked that the
(main) link be the same color+shading as the top navbar, but
that's a CSS issue and not my responsibility.  But the actual
second-level TOC item itself is staying.

Cheers,
