I think it would be nice if the Next, Previous, and Up entries were

I don't know how to specify CSS to break lines up this way. If there
isn't, could texinfo put the nav panel in a grid for flexbox or
something so that I can add CSS to make it flow neatly for small
screens? Even allowing CSS to add a style to the Next, Previous, and
Up labels would help a bit.
We could try somethink like:
<p>
<span style="white-space: nowrap">Next: Step-by-Step Alien
Example</span>
<span style="white-space: nowrap">Previous: Loading Unix Object
Files</span>
<span style="white-space: nowrap">Up: Alien Objects</span>
</p>
I modified my html file with this change. And add the span for the
[Content][Index] too. I get:
This looks good. I think I'd like the Contents and Index on a separate line.
And since I'm wishing for things it might be nice to be able to control
the font weight (or other style) for "Next". I think it looks good as
bold, but I might not want the link to be bold.
The downside is truncation for really short windows with long text,
but I think that is tolerable in this context.
I think so too. Wrapping the long text would make it look funny too.
