I've tried. It's not pretty:

I hope it makes sense. I distinguish between the Frontpage which is what
we want to customize, and the Table o Contents which is autogenerated by
Yelp, and which we will link through. I hope that it is possible to link
to specific sections inside a document from the frontpage. That is why
we want to do a customized front page in the first place.

I hope this gives you an idea of what we want to do and if it is
feasible. Please let us know.

Cheers,

Andreas
