Hi!

I have 2 small ideas to improve the usability of the PostgreSQL documentation. 
I'm looking at v15 (1) mostly.

Idea 1:
Give the text width of the main content a max width.

Idea 2:
Each h3 and h4 element should be a link pointing to the nearest parent section 
with an id. This makes deeplinking to specific parts of a page easier. This 
prevents people from having to scroll to the top, find out which 
table-of-content-link they have to click to get the deeplink of where they 
wanted to link. This is actually quite a common pattern. See the Python docs 
(2) and the Mozilla docs (3) as examples. The pattern on those sites is even a 
little nicer by showing an icon on hover.

I've created a user script (4) to do this in my browser. You can test it with 
the Tampermonkey browser extension.

I'd <3 to hear your thoughts.

Cheers,
Niels
