Question

I have the confidentiality text in its own “copy.rst” document. How can I include it without it showing up in the toctree?

Answer 1

Add copy.rst to a separate toctree with the :hidden: option:

.. toctree::

   doc1.rst 
   doc2.rst

.. toctree::
   :hidden:

   copy.rst   

You could also do nothing (just keep copy.rst with the other .rst files) and simply ignore the “copy.rst:: WARNING: document isn’t included in any toctree” message.
