      Currently, javadoc-generated API documentation adapts to large screens simply by expanding page content to the available screen space. This is aesthetically questionable and results in usability problems: Running text becomes hard to read due to very long lines, and links and other page elements become difficult to reach as they are scattered over a large area.

      Similar to the work done for small screens, we should make the page layout responsive to large screens. A simple approach would be to limit the space used by individual page elements. A more sophisticated solution would be to switch to a different layout on large screen, possibly using additional columns or grid cells, and using the available space for additional content or navigation features.
