Hi Thérèse,

Apologies if the changes had undesirable effects!  I’m of course open to
changes in the CSS.

Understood.  The problem I saw before this change is that the navigation
links were too prominent and cluttering the page.  Reducing the font
size seemed like one way to address that.

Ideally, they’d be displayed (say) in the margin on wide-enough
displays, and they’d be hidden altogether on small displays
(smartphones).

WDYT?

OK, let’s adjust that; please go ahead or send a patch.  On my laptop it
looks fine and makes sections more distinguishable IMO.

I’m not really a style person :-), but I think we should aim for
something like <https://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/index.html>.
On-line manuals are often how people discover the software, so I think
we should make sure they’re pleasant to read.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
