Add Content Navigation Bar in Right Side of Documentation pages

[PIYUSHgoyal16]

The current documentation layout has no side navigation bar, and looks something like this:

As the content on the upcoming pages is increasing, navigation to each section is becoming harder. To deal with such a bulkier page, I could break the content into multiple pages, but that would reduce the charm as the user would be just navigating between pages(due to references). Hence, I propose to have a content navigation bar on the right side, utilising the vacant space, helping the reader to have a better experience.

Hi, This navigation sidebar sounds like a good idea to me! Cheers, - Ira

@PIYUSHgoyal16 I think you want something like this: http://blog.pc.iitmandi.co.in/web-development-for-freshers/. If so, you only need to set toc : true and probably the toc_label.

Thanks, @dheeraj135 :-)
But not exactly, I want the sidebar to remain intact even when the user scrolls down. Something like the left-hand side, the author profile in case of your example.
