 collector

Introduces a new collectors.py module with a custom TocTreeCollectorWithAppendices and a function to disable the built-in TocTreeCollector. Updates the extension setup to use these changes, ensuring the custom collector is registered and the built-in one is disabled, with logging for both actions.

Subject: [PATCH 23/96] Comment out nested toctree RuntimeError

The RuntimeError for nested toctrees has been commented out in TocTreeCollectorWithStyles. This may allow nested toctrees to be processed or ignored without raising an exception.

Subject: [PATCH 26/96] Refactor section number increment logic in collector

Moves the increment of section number counters for different styles from __renumber to the main loop in TocTreeCollectorWithStyles. This avoids double-incrementing and ensures counters are updated only once per entry.

Subject: [PATCH 51/96] Handle nested toctrees in TocTreeCollectorWithStyles

Introduces the __fix_nested_toc method to process nested toctrees instead of raising a RuntimeError. This change updates section numbers and recursively replaces tocs for nested entries, improving support for complex toctree structures.

Introduces a new 'restart_numbering' boolean field to the TocTree class and includes it in the list of recognized TOCTREE_OPTIONS. This allows users to specify whether numbering should restart for a given toctree style.

Subject: [PATCH 53/96] Add support for restarting section numbering in toctree

Introduces handling of a 'restart_numbering' attribute in toctree nodes. When set, the section numbering for the specified style is reset, and a warning is logged. This allows for more flexible control over section numbering in generated documentation.

Subject: [PATCH 56/96] Improve style conversion for numbered toctree items

Enhanced the logic in TocTreeCollectorWithStyles to convert each number in number_set to its corresponding style in style_set, rather than only converting the first. This allows for more flexible and accurate handling of mixed numbering styles in toctrees.

 ### Using different key-mappings
 
 For certain use-cases, it is helpful to map the `subtrees`/`entries` keys to mirror e.g. an output [LaTeX structure](https://www.overleaf.com/learn/latex/sections_and_chapters).

Subject: [PATCH 63/96] Fix secnumber handling in TocTreeCollectorWithStyles

Added a check to ensure 'secnumber' exists in env.titles[ref] before processing section numbers in TocTreeCollectorWithStyles. This prevents errors when entries do not have a 'secnumber' attribute. Also, setup now loads 'sphinx_multitoc_numbering' extension.

Subject: [PATCH 71/96] Update numbering options and defaults for ToC subtrees

Refines the behavior of the `restart_numbering` option for ToC subtrees, making its default value depend on the `use_multitoc_numbering` setting. Updates the README to clarify the new logic and usage, changes the API to allow `restart_numbering` to be None, and adjusts the collector logic to apply the correct default based on configuration.

Subject: [PATCH 74/96] Improve section number mapping in TOC collector

Enhances the assign_section_numbers method to more robustly map and update section numbers in env.toc_secnumbers, ensuring consistency after style changes. The update includes storing old titles, handling renumbering logic for anchors, and converting section numbers to tuples to maintain compatibility with other parts of the algorithm.

   By default it is appended to the end of the document, but see also the `tableofcontents` directive for positioning of the ToC.
 - `maxdepth` (integer): A maximum nesting depth to use when showing the ToC within the document (default -1, meaning infinite).
 - `numbered` (boolean or integer): Automatically add numbers to all documents within a subtree (default `False`).
-  If set to `True`, all sub-trees will also be numbered based on nesting (e.g. with `1.1` or `1.1.1`),
+  If set to `True`, all subtrees will also be numbered based on nesting (e.g. with `1.1` or `1.1.1`),
   or if set to an integer then the numbering will only be applied to that depth.
 - `reversed` (boolean): If `True` then the entries in the subtree will be listed in reverse order (default `False`).
   This can be useful when using `glob` entries.
 - `titlesonly` (boolean): If `True` then only the first heading in the document will be shown in the ToC, not other headings of the same level (default `False`).
+- `style` (string or list of strings): The section numbering style to use for this subtree (default `numerical`).
+  If a single string is given, this will be used for the top level of the subtree.
+  If a list of strings is given, then each entry will be used for the corresponding level of section numbering.
+  If styles are not given for all levels, then the remaining levels will be `numerical`.
+  If too many styles are given, the extra ones will be ignored.
+  The first time a style is used at the top level in a subtree, the numbering will start from 1, 'a', 'A', 'I' or 'i' depending on the style.
+  Subsequent times the same style is used at the top level in a subtree, the numbering will continue from the last number used for that style, unless `restart_numbering` is set to `True`.
+  Available styles:
+  - `numerical`: 1, 2, 3, ...
+  - `romanlower`: i, ii, iii, iv, v, ...
+  - `romanupper`: I, II, III, IV, V, ...
+  - `alphalower`: a, b, c, d, e, ..., aa, ab, ...
+  - `alphaupper`: A, B, C, D, E, ..., AA, AB, ...
+- `restart_numbering` (boolean): If `True`, the numbering for the top level of this subtree will restart from 1 (or 'a', 'A', 'I' or 'i' depending on the style). If `False` the numbering for the top level of this subtree will continue from the last letter/number/symbol used in a previous subtree with the same style. The default value of this option is `not use_multitoc_numbering`. This means that:
+  - if `use_multitoc_numbering` is `True` (the default), the numbering for each part will continue from the last letter/number/symbol used in a previous part with the same style, unless `restart_numbering` is explicitly set to `True`.
+  - if `use_multitoc_numbering` is `False`, the numbering of each subtree will restart from 1 (or 'a', 'A', 'I' or 'i' depending on the style), unless `restart_numbering` is explicitly set to `False`.

Subject: [PATCH 83/96] Add style and restart_numbering to toctree data

Added 'style' and 'restart_numbering' fields to toctree structures in YAML and XML test files to support new features. Updated TocTreeCollectorWithStyles to skip non-internal document references when fixing nested toctrees. This improves handling of toctree options and ensures correct processing of document references.

-> [!NOTE]
-> Currently, this is a *forked* version of `sphinx-external-toc` that implements:
->
-> - Section numbering styles (e.g. numerical, roman (upper/lower), alphabetic (upper/lower)) per any level in the ToC by providing a new option `style` per subtree.
-> - The option to restart the upper level section numbering for each subtree for the selected numbering style by providing a new option `restart_numbering` per subtree.
-
 A sphinx extension that allows the documentation site-map (a.k.a Table of Contents) to be defined external to the documentation files.
 As used by default by [Jupyter Book](https://jupyterbook.org) (no need to manually add this extension to the extensions in `_config.yml` in a JupyterBook)!

Subject: [PATCH 92/96] Add tests for _compat module and clean up collectors
 tests

Added a comprehensive test suite for the sphinx_external_toc._compat module in tests/test_compat.py, covering validators, dataclass utilities, conditional imports, and type annotations. Also removed unused imports and cleaned up some test logic in tests/test_collectors.py.
