[Worg] Keep table of contents visible in wide viewports?

[Worg] Keep table of contents visible in wide viewports?

[Adam Porter]

Hi,

Looking at Worg now, it occurred to me that, when my browser window is 
maximized, there's plenty of room for the table of contents to remain 
visible alongside the content.  But it's hidden automatically, and 
remains hidden until the user interacts with it, which seems suboptimal 
for an intra-page table of contents.

Could we modify it to keep the ToC visible when the window is wide 
enough?  I think that would be a big usability improvement.  WDYT?

The current TOC style is indeed not ideal.
See https://list.orgmode.org/orgmode/87mteh4d0b.fsf@localhost/
If you can work towards improving TOC in Worg, it would be welcome.

I tried

/* Show when screen is wide enough */
@media only screen and (min-width: 100em) {
 #table-of-contents #text-table-of-contents {
  display: block;}}

However, it looks distracting, IMHO. (I tried on https://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/index.html)
If we want to display TOC all the time on wide screens, we should change
the TOC style to be more subtle. Creativity is needed.
