Description
I find it really hard to see where a method documentation starts and ends:
The headers "Args" and "Description" are much bigger than the method name although they are subordinate to it. This means when scrolling through the page it is hard - at least for me - to discern the part that belongs to a method.
I'm not sure whether this is the same problem but the right side bar is also quite useless in this case:
It is just a list of "Args" and "Description" entries without a hint for what.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported method documentation and right sidebar in RDoc's generated HTML, using the screenshots as the visual reference. Trace how method names, Args, and Description entries are rendered and identify the relevant templates or styles. Done means method boundaries are visually clear and sidebar entries indicate the method they belong to.
