Describe the problem

• I clicked on a link in another topic that took me to the Layout widgets page. (https://docs.flutter.dev/ui/widgets/layout)
• I saw in the TOC that Widget Catalog was selected. This confused me because I only saw layout widgets in the main window. Weren't there more types?
• I clicked on Widget Catalog in the TOC and it took me to another page which was confusing. (https://docs.flutter.dev/ui/widgets)
• I had to look carefully at the navigation crumb to realize that the TOC was linked to one page and the child pages were hidden in the TOC. I wasn't sure how to get back to the Layouts page, but eventually discovered I could click a link on the main page to eventually get to the child page that I needed.

Notes

I think it's nice to have embedded navigation through pages, but I think it's important to also include child pages in the TOC so that we have two ways of getting to content. It was very confusing to see Widget Catalog selected in the TOC when I wasn't actually on that page.

Also, it would be nice to just navigate through the TOC to get to these child pages so that I don't have to click > load page > click > load page > click > load page etc.

@parlough whatever you did with Set up Flutter, maybe we could do that here?
