The document outline tree is the set of links used to navigate through
the various document sections and pages.
To define the document outline we first use the <code>outline</code>
method to lazily instantiate an outline object. Then we use the
<code>define</code> method with a block to start the outline tree.
The basic methods for creating outline nodes are <code>section</code> and
<code>page</code>. The only difference between the two is that
<code>page</code> doesn't accept a block and will only create leaf nodes
while <code>section</code> accepts a block to create nested nodes.
<code>section</code> accepts the title of the section and two options:
<code>:destination</code> - a page number to link and
<code>:closed</code> - a boolean value that defines if the nested outline
nodes are shown when the document is open (defaults to true).
<code>page</code> is very similar to section. It requires a
<code>:title</code> option to be set and accepts a
<code>:destination</code>.
<code>section</code> and <code>page</code> may also be used without the
<code>define</code> method but they will need to instantiate the
<code>outline</code> object every time.
