Subject: [PATCH 1/1] docs: contain horizontal overflow in C API descriptions
Date: Sat, 21 Mar 2026 10:25:59 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260321142559.26005-2-rito@ritovision.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260321142559.26005-1-rito@ritovision.com>
Some documentation pages contain long C API signatures that can exceed
the content width and cause page-wide horizontal scroll overflow.
Apply contained horizontal scrolling to C API description blocks and
keep their signature rows on one line. This preserves signature
formatting while preventing them from breaking page layout.
