As I said, I used AI (Gemini) to do the hard work. It would have taken
me forever to figure it out myself. I just tweaked lots of stuff. The
generated code had lots of spacing and boxes and colors around everything.
There are lots of things to be tweaked still, but it's a start.
I'm attaching the code that Gemini created which I used to generate
this. (I may have tweaked that a bit for the images, though.) The
actual example text was from an actual texinfo manual that I was
hacking on just now.
Oops. I see that I modified that a bit. Here is what I actually used to
create the image below. Oh, and I used |<div>| instead of |<ul>| for the
nav panel entries.
|.body-container { /* Sets up background, minimum height, padding, and
centers content */ background-color: #f9fafb; /* min-height: 100vh;
padding: 2rem; */ font-family: Arial, sans-serif; display: flex;

row and multiple rows. */ .data-container { width: 100%; max-width:
