Re: Basic documentation style for better reading

[Konstantine Rybnikov <k-bx@k-bx.com>]

So, by making max-width: 800px we save documentation reader's time from making browser smaller (browsers have a lot of tabs, and making browser smaller can harm other tabs usability).

I used firebug to change styles, yes, it's possible with user-styles or a lot of other technologies. I hope you won't ask users "if you want to get better documentation, please go and install that user style" :)

Have you tried User Style Sheets? If I am not mistaken, also those
styles You prefer could be set in your own style sheet and thus show
Web pages the way you prefer.

I do not believe it would be wise to fix the width to any pixel
amount, devices have wide or narrow screens. I admit it is hard to
read very long lines, but then I just make the browser window
narrower.
