DjVu has the possibility to add a TOC (called "outline") to a document.

The problem is that the very limited outline creation feature ("Bookmark this page" - ctrl+b) of djvusmooth produces an outline that apparently the PB DjVu-viewer doesn't understand correctly. (I don't have problems with the desktop "DjView"-viewer)

But you can edit the outline manually:
The basic syntax is:
Code:
(bookmarks
    ("Chapter 1" "#pagenumber")
    ("Chapter 2" "#pagenumber")
    ...
)
You can also have nested chapters like so:
Code:
(bookmarks
    ("Chapter 1" "#pagenumber"
         ("Section 1.1" "#pagenumber")
         ("Section 1.2" "#pagenumber")
    )
    ("Chapter 2" "#pagenumber")
    ...
)
Save your outline in a text file and then open your document with djvused (a commandline djvu editor - it's part of the "djvulibre-bin"-package on which "djvusmooth" depends thus you should have it already):
Code:
$> djvused document.djvu
Now you are in the interactive mode and you can print the current outline with "print-outline", set it with "set-outline toc-file" ("toc-file" is the text file you have manually created) and save your changes with "save". (You can leave "djvused" with ctrl+c or any unknown command).

Alternatively you can use "djvused" non-interactively:
Code:
$> djvused document.djvu -e "set-outline toc-file" -s
This will change the outline and saves the document with the current name.
See the above link for further details on "djvused" or use "man djvused"

Bye, Andreas

PS: The only problem I've noticed so far is with deeply nested structures like
Code:
(bookmarks
    ("Level 1a" "#nr"
        ("Level 2a" "#nr"
            ("Level3a" "#nr"
                ("Level4a" "#nr")
            )
            ("Level3b" "#nr"
                ("Level4b" "#nr")
                ("Level4c" "#nr")
            )
        )
    )
)
where some elements (not all) of the third and fourth level aren't recognised by the PB-viewer (but all show up in "DjView")
