Tripleo-docs: Conditional web page rendering out of order

- [X] This doc is inaccurate in this way:

All tripleo-docs pages that I have seen feature a small header labeled "Limit Environment Specific Content" that looks like a drop-down menu. Clicking on it has no effect.

Given the many possible combinations of platforms (Centos, RHEL), versions (Newton to Queens plus master) and other options that influence the installation process, it would be very useful if the reader had the possibility to select some options and hide others. The documents currently include all options, which makes them close to unreadable. In spite of all the colour coding and labeling, it's very easy to run an incorrect command or download the wrong files.

Why doesn't this selection menu work? It's coded in a file named _layouts.html, which all pages include. _layouts.html itself includes Javascript files that are not found anywhere. I believe this is where the problem lies. I speculate that the conditional page rendering feature got lost in the conversion of those pages to REStructured Text. I would like to try it out on the original tripleo.org, but this site is (currently or permanently) down.

RST and Sphinx do have conditional rendering. The installation guide makes use of this feature, why not Tripleo?

I noticed that _templates/layout.html refers to CSS and Javascript files in a directory named _static. It turns out that these files exist, but the directory is named _custom. A quick fix, I thought, and replaced _static with _custom.

As a result, I can now see the option menu (Centos vs RHEL, Newton/Ocata/stable etc). Unfortunately it is always displayed and can't be collapsed. Furthermore, the option settings are not remembered when I change pages, and finally, setting/unsetting menu options has no effect.

In short, it's not that simple.
