excellent, thanks a lot!

The real problem is the inability to specify section level TOCS. Due to
some

AFAICT, everything is working as expected ^_^
thanks again for your action on the NUT specific issues, and more generally
for this "holy grail" you brought us!

I'll now get back on the final NUT completion. Once done and available on
www.networkupstools.org (it's currently only on new.n.o), I'll ping you
back
for a reference in the "Documents written using AsciiDoc" section.

cheers,
Arnaud
