I was thinking of /Guide. However, I think the CSS is general enough to work across the whole site.

Quite probably. I got a minimalist vibe from the existing site, so I tried to match that with minimalist CSS!

If there's appetite for fanciness, then adapting fancy CSS from somewhere else might work. My CSS for example will not give you fancy code boxes.

Thanks!

I leant something new!

If there's consensus that we don't want to use my minimal CSS, and that we do want to adapt fancy CSS from a compatibly licensed project I'm happy to do a bit of research for something suitable.
