The transform generates the TOC by travelling the document tree after
parsing is complete.

A good representation of its output can be gained, if you create a
`minimal example` sample document, translate it to pseudoxml and examine
the result.

If the toc represents the logical structure you want to show in your output
document, fine. You can leave the transform as-is.
If not, explain the changes you think are necessary.

That means, in my situation, the transform itself is OK as is.

I just want publish_parts to output the HTML contents of TOC to its own
part.

e.g., In the same way publish_parts gives “html_body” and “fragment”, I
want it to return “toc”, which is the HTML output of the table of contents.

This should be the class triggered by the ``.. contents::`` directive. It
will ensure the transform is called at the right time and does the right
thing.

Yes. I pretty much want a new “part” created by HTMLWriter when
publish_parts is used that only contains “.. contents::” output.

Rather, you should provide a minimal working example showing what you want
to achieve (+ a diff between current and desired output).
