[OSGeoLive] Quick starts template question (Season of Docs)

[Felicity Brand]

In the OSGeoLive-doc\doc\quickstart directory, there's a file called
`toc.rst` that has the following contents:
--------------------------
.. only:: latex
   .. toctree::
     :maxdepth: 1
     :glob:
     *_quickstart
-----------------------------

I can't read the code but didn't want to plonk a new file called
"template.rst" into the directory in case this code is generating an
automatic list of quickstarts that displays somewhere important.
Would this be why you embedded writing instructions into a quickstart
in the first place, rather than having it in its own file?
