+\subsection{The TOC as a molecule}\label{ssec:molecule}
+
+It is also possible to construct a TOC tree obeying the TikZ syntax for
+trees: this is a more complicated task for the \etoc line styles for reasons
+related to the importance of braces in \TeX{}, they need, when filling up the
+  token list (and if not using very tricky tricks) to be
+always balanced at each step.
+
+The simplest strategy is to allocate a token list (or use a macro) for each
+level used: we may need a \csa{parttok}, a \csa{chaptertok}, a
+\csa{sectiontok} and a \csa{subsectiontok}, to help in the task of filling
+up the total \csa{treetok}. As we are interested here in the table of
+contents of this (or another) document part, only a \csa{sectiontok} and a
+\csa{subsectiontok} will be needed.
+
+And the nice thing is that now, our hyperlinks do work. To tell \etoc to insert
+  the correct hyperlinks,  rather than
+trying to do things with \csa{etoclink} (which is a robust command\footnote{one
+could access the contents of \csa{csname etoclink }\csa{endcsname} but
+it contains \csa{Hy@tocdestname} \emph{unexpanded}, so it is easier to do as
+shown in the sequel.}) the
+simpler method\footnote{this paragraph and much of the details of the code
+snippets will be understood only by users knowledgeable in advanced \LaTeX{}
+programming.} is to store
+|\hyperlink{A}{B}| in \csa{treetok} where |A| stands for the \emph{expansion} of
+\cs{Hy@tocdestname}, 
+and |B| stands for the (one time) \emph{expansion} of \csa{etocthename}.

+\subsection{Displaying statistics}\label{ssec:statistics}
+
+Each part of this document starts with a paragraph telling how many sections and
+subsections it has. Well, each one of this paragraph is a table of contents! We
+designed a macro \csa{thispartstats} to do that. It uses ``storage'' boxes to
+keep the information about the first and last section or subsection. Using boxes
+is the simplest manner to encapsulate the |hyperref| link for later use (whether
+there is one or none). However, one cannot modify then the font or the color
+(using the \TeX{} primitive \csa{setbox} rather than the \LaTeX{} \csa{sbox}
+would allow to change the color of the un-boxed saved box). If such a need
+arises, one must switch from boxes to macros, and store the |hyperref| data for
+later use as was done in the code presented in the \autoref{ssec:molecule}. We
+did this for the first paragraph of the \autoref{sec:surprising}.
