Well, to focus this back on the original point, I'd like to see the Table
of Contents for the Handbook take better advantage of the horizontal
"page". I use a 24" monitor @ 1920x1200 and there is a lot of [wasted]
white space on my screen when viewing the TOC. It takes me eight (8) mouse
scroll movements to get from top to bottom (or eighteen (18) scroll bar
clicks). It's got to be even worse for folks with small screens. It would
be good if we could redesign the TOC to take better advantage of the
horizontal "page", something that would work for large an small screen
users.

The individual sections of the Handbook use the full horizontal "page", why
not the TOC?

As you state here, the list is already so long, that's exactly why 
subsections are not included...

What do you exactly mean by horizontal page?

I agree, the TOC is already too long vertically. Adding subsections would
exacerbate the problem.

By "horizontal page" I mean taking advantage of the full screen width, for
example, by using multi-columns or similar technique. That would get more
info on each screen page. Compare the TOC with the x-config.html page (
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-config.html),
which uses the full page width.

The problem with this is that TOC is a multiple level enumeration by 
nature, which is conventionally listed vertically in order. Using two 
columns may be confusing for people since it is not conventional. And if 
we use 2 columns, what order would it follow? Like this:


12
1.12.1
1.22.2
1.32.3

Or this:

1
1.11.2
1.31.4

And what to do on smaller screens if the two columns do not fit?

I believe that a collapsible tree list would be the best option but that 
requires JavaScript, which we prefer to avoid...

Top to bottom, left to right would be the normal "western" approach, no?

Personally, I would have no problem with a TOC that only listed the major
chapters. If you want the details sections/subsections) you would drill
(click) down as required:
1.6.
2.7.
3 8.
4.9.
5.   10.

or even

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
etc.

It would require less scrolling, but this might be objectionable to many.

I understand completely your desire to avoid JS.

This may simply be an intractable problem.
