Description

What's the issue?

📚 Please describe the problem you’ve noticed in the documentation.

Had a request for pdf version of the DART documentation. Not currently building pdf or epub.

Here is the current (v11.15) pdf version (see https://github.com/NCAR/DART/compare/main...rtd-pdf for the conf.py change to switch this on).
https://docs.dart.ucar.edu/_/downloads/en/rtd-pdf/pdf/

Where did you find the issue?

Provide the location(s) of the issue:

It is the contents/toc/chapter heading:

Sections in index.rst are chapters, then everything else (~1000 pages) is under the references. Here is the start and end of the table of contents:

What needs to be fixed?

Share what’s incorrect, unclear, missing, or outdated.

Also my sanity after setting up local build of latex pdf for readthedocs on mac.

Suggestions for improvement

I'm not sure of the demand for pdf/epub for the dart docs, but I think the organizing the current documentation for navigation is a worthwhile exercise.

Anything else we should know?

Include any other relevant details, such as references, screenshots, or related discussions.
