The purple background as used on the documentation page has terrible 
contrast/clash with the blue of unvisited links on Firefox on Linux 
making it really hard to read.  It makes me squint because my brain 
thinks something's out of focus.  Then, after you visit them the visited 
link color is too close to the purple--they almost disappear.  
Additionally, the use of dark colors with black text makes my eyes work 
to hard.  The following choices are more readable on my machine while 
giving a similar effect.

..docs-beginner {
 float: left;
 width: 48%;
 border: 1pt solid black;
 background-color: #ffff99;
}

..docs-normal {
 float: right;
 width: 48%;
 border: 1pt solid black;
 background-color: #ccffee;
}

..docs-advanced {
 display: block;
 margin: 0 auto;
 border: 1pt solid black;
 background-color: #ffddff;
}
