Create orphan pages

By default any pages created need to be added in the _toc.yml file and therefore appear in the left navigation section. However you might want to create orphan pages which can be linked by other pages but are not present in the main navigation panel.

To achieve this and avoid build failures, you just need to add the :orphan: directive in the page like:

Page title
==========

:orphan:

Rest of the page content

The :orphan: section tells Sphinx not to include this page in any contents list, and therefore no warning is issued about the page not being added in the _toc.yaml file.
