Make documentation sites more readable

[OnkelTem]

In my humble opinion, the left column is very hard to read:

This is how it looks on my main display:

As you see the left col is too narrow, so that every other line gets wrapped, which makes it really hard to read, and it cannot be resized, yet at regular 1980px width:

• it allocates just 11% of the width
• right column takes another 40%
• so ~50% of the width is unused.

Please, do something. Or I can do it, if you say where can I find the site sources.

I came to start something along these same lines... It should be a simple css fix....

Ok, so, its 3 css rules to help things out, and I slapped it into a userscript for anyone who wants 😃

(function() {
    'use strict';

    var style = document.createElement("style");
    style.type = "text/css";
    style.innerText=String.raw`
    .content { max-width: 100% !important; }

    @media (min-width: 1200px) {
      .content-root { padding-left: 400px; }
      .menubar { width: 400px; }
    }
    `;

    document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(style);
})();

Good catch! Thank you @khill-fbmc

Have you published it already?

[kevinkhill]

Where is a good place to publish?

Where is a good place to publish?

Oh, I thought you knew. Well, I take it, the default place where Violentmonkey/Tampermonkey extensions look for user scripts is this repository: https://greasyfork.org/

To publish your user script, you can go here https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/by-site/yargs.js.org and click the "Publish a script you've written"

They'll want you to register though. And also, it's not that straightforward, as you'd have to paste your script in their form.
I would expect publishing to work right from the extension, hehe, but for some reason it doesn't work.

[kevinkhill]

😂 I just make user scripts to fix my own annoyances. I never thought to publish, lol

I'll look into it. Are you using it? Did it work for you?

[kevinkhill]

Easy enough 😃 https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/446661-yargs-docs-fix

[OnkelTem]

Yes, thank you! Successfuly installed the script and it worked :)

Ahahah. True, bro!

Will happily take patches to improve the styles on the website, if anyone wants to take a pass at updating the CSS.

[khill-fbmc]

heh, will you look at that 👍🏻 here it is! The right repo. When I get a moment, I'll take a peek at incorporating more page breaks for large monitors, since I also need something better for 🖥️ 2560 x 1080

[OnkelTem]

Wait, where is the repo?

Ah, well! I see it now. We ARE in the repo! :)
