Thanks; I was afraid it was going to be something like that, and am
appreciative that I don't need to reinvent this particular wheel.  My
previous workaround was to export once with TOC, copy-paste the TOC
bit to the org-file in a #+BEGIN_HTML block, then export again with
:body-only t.  But each run takes a couple of hours (another question
for another day), which is a pain, and not convenient should the
document structure change.

I noticed in the thread that Carsten mentioned writing a "hook" that
strips the other stuff.  Don't have much experience writing hooks, but
there should be a way to write a custom publishing function just like
the current one which strips everything but the TOC.  I'll use your
patch while I continue thinking about it.

Thanks again.
Jay
