Description
This issue was originally opened by @donpinkus via facebook/react/issues/10980
The side-nav only displays page titles. It would be nice if it also displayed section headers for the current page:
For example - what are the life cycle events in React? The closest thing in the nav is "Quick Start > State and Lifecycle". After navigating to this page, and reading for a few seconds - it becomes clear this is a tutorial. Is there a list of the lifecycle events? I'm not sure. I scan through the whole page. Doesn't look like it, but maybe I just missed it. Repeating this process of scrolling through entire pages is time consuming, so instead I just google "react 16 lifecycle events" and end up finding it on someone's independent blog post.

Research direction
Start by locating the side-nav implementation and the current page heading structure in the React documentation website. Trace how navigation entries are generated, then determine how section headers should appear for the current page; the work is done when relevant page sections are represented in the side navigation and the lifecycle-events example is easier to scan.
