section/no section number TOC

[FCI Info]

Another solution, that still use an additional pgf format,  is to divide the section headings in two pgfs - a section number pgf and a section title pgf. Then, in the front matter, only the section title is used.

This solution is normally used to resolve some design requirement: position or format of the numbers.

If you had created the necessary 2 or 3 pgf formats, added them to the TOC, and modified the TOC spec accordingly, you'd be done by now. Mucking about with conditional text, which won't solve your problem, is just wasting time.
