I'm designing a PD support site.
Ideally I'd like to have some sort of within section navigation like tabs.
Choose topic: have tabs along the top for subtopics.
I wondered if there was some way I could set up a section with a few items and have some of them promoted to "Tabs".
I found nothing like this in the formats plugins.

You have a couple of options here. First, you could create a course for each topic and then use the Tabs Course format plugin for your subtopics. That is exactly what I do in my Professional Development Moodle site and it is the easiest option.
Second, the later versions of Moodle have Bootstrap built in, so, if you add a label to a topic, you can create tabs within it with bootstrap coding. Check here for some ideas. http://getbootstrap.com/javascript/#tabs
My Shoehorn theme has 'Course tiles' functionality that I 'borrowed' from Julian's Elegance theme. I'm not sure if Danny has removed them. Anyway, the code is there and is an improvement over the original.
Feel free to browse the code and transpose it onto your theme: https://github.com/gjb2048/moodle-theme_shoehorn/blob/master/less/shoehorn-custom.less#L393-L751
Gareth and Emma:
A belated thanks.
Here is what we are using in the mean time (courtesy William Lu's tip): https://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=filter_tabs
