Mhmm, I think this is suboptimal; it doesn't look appealing to me.  I
suggest to drop it completely – we have a `Home' button already.

OK, thanks; we can later fiddle around with colors if necessary,

Great!

Looks good, with some exceptions.

* The font size for code blocks looks very small to me compared to the
  surrounding text font, see attached image.

* The left navigation menu with its fixed position becomes far too
  long if I press the `Expand All' button.  In particular, the
  `Collapse All' button is no longer reachable.  It seems that some
  JavaScript code is necessary to make the menu scrollable if it
  becomes taller than the browser window's height. 

* What do you think about `next section' and `previous section'
  buttons or links at the end of each chapter if `FreeType Glyph
  Conventions'?  If I toggle the `Nav' button to hide the left-side
  menu, there is no navigation available on the section level.
