Description
rustdoc's UI is left-aligned, including rustdoc displayed within docs.rs:
But if you visit a non-rustdoc page in docs.rs, for instance the crate page, the UI is centered:
In general I favor a centered UI, but I think for our use case the more important principle is consistency, so we should make the non-rustdoc pages left-aligned.

Research direction
Compare the rustdoc UI with the non-rustdoc crate page at docs.rs/crate/brotli/latest, using the linked screenshots as the visual reference. Locate the styling entry point for non-rustdoc pages and make their layout left-aligned consistently with rustdoc, then verify both page types visually.
