Description

I have a feature request for the documentation.

Could another level be added to the table of contents for the API docs? I am having trouble navigating the new docs when I'm not able to easily see a listing of classes or jump to any particular one.

As an example, I would like to see what the various Geometry types are at a glance (https://shapely.readthedocs.io/en/latest/geometry.html), but only see this:

Research direction

Start with the API documentation page geometry.html and inspect the documentation navigation that produces its table of contents. Verify how the Geometry types are currently presented and update the contents so individual classes can be seen or reached directly. Done means the API docs expose a usable listing of the Geometry types.
