I am thinking about how best to apply this theme to documentation of software applications. What would a Tufte software User Manual look like? |

@bwklein i would suggest to use Docsy instead of Hugo-Tufte... Docsy have been specificaly designed to make technical documentation. However, you can use Hugo-Tufte to create anything you want, it would be the first doc i know about written in Tufte style ! It could look like this => https://rmarkdown.rstudio.com/examples/tufte-handout.pdf |

For example, I'd like to reimagine docs like these with 100% more Tufte. https://support.thunderheadeng.com/docs/pathfinder/2021-2/ |

Check the shortcodes https://github.com/slashformotion/hugo-tufte/tree/master/layouts/shortcodes , maybe you can adapt them to fit with docsy. I am not sure if it's really usefull.
I don't really know that. I thinkl he never did and i am not the best at designing things... |

By the way, I don't know if docsy is up to date on your website, this is strange: |

It floats over everything, that's not standard in Docsy. You can also close it and the open/close state will persist between page loads. |
