How to display only the document titles on the index.html

Question

In my sphinx-build generated documents, the index page displays the Document title and Section Title links.

==============
Document Title
==============

Section Title
-----------------

I don't want the Section Title to be displayed on the index page,

so I changed the rst to use the subtitle formatting, but it still appears on the index page. How to resolve this problem?

==============
Document Title
==============

Section Title (Document Subtitle)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I found the solution, setting the maxdepth to 1 (earlier it was 2) on index.rst gives the desired behavior.

.. toctree::
   :maxdepth: 1
