Looks great, lots of presentation options and whatnot, but I was missing the ability to scroll on desktop.

#32I just don't understand why every JavaScript project uses emojis so much
It helps format the text if your writing a long piece of manual for example. Sure you can break it up with capital letters, bold but it gets boring and dull. Adding emoji's adds a bit of toybox excitement. If they are used correctly, it can make a document more appealing. When not then it makes the page look ghastly.
I love your documentation.
Small thing: Your "Built with" links at the bottom are broken.

#33The accessibility of this leaves a lot to be desired: - There are no landmarks. - The keyboard navigation works poorly. - There are no live regions to show changing content. - The markup is a sea of divs and spans, so there is no structure to the content. - There is no visible focus indicator. Some of the advanced layouts do not work at all in Safari, accessible or otherwise.
Why so negative?
Accessibility shouldn't be an afterthought. It really needs to be baked in from the start.

#37Nice! Many years ago I built something like that as my first JS project. Oh the days.

I think `tree` is a bit confusing for what is essentially still linear vertical diagram. You can imagine you could have a layout with actual branches.
Agreed. Would renaming it vertical-split or vertical-alternating reduce confusion?
Vertical-alternating seems very clear to me. Also consider allowing vertical-alternating to “compact“. Reducing blank space may be of value for some designs.

Unfortunately, people often file lawsuits over lack of accessibility (at least in the US).
