This looks cool. Quite interesting to see we have almost 200 pages of 
documentation now (not counting the changelogs). That's impressive!

My suggestion for the stylesheet would be to use whitespace between 
paragraphs, instead of what it does now, indenting the paragraphs. I 
find that easier to read. There also seems to be a jumping of the left 
margin on alternate pages. Perhaps this is nice if you print it? I don't 
see this in many PDFs I see though, and it makes it a bit harder to read 
on the screen.
