Description

Hi. I'm starting to use testcontainers to test the behavior of a simple P2P network written in Python. I noticed that the auto-generated documentation for each class is just a copy of the constructor (without parameters descriptions) and a small code example. It would be really helpful if, at least, a small description of the behavior of each available method for each class was provided. Then this could be improved by adding a small description of the meaning of each parameter.

Small addition: for some reason, the documentation has really big margins on the left and the right but the title is too long.

Research direction

Start with the generated documentation linked in the issue and locate the DockerCompose class and its method pages. Review how the documentation is generated and styled before documenting method behavior and parameter meanings; done means the pages explain the available methods and parameters and the excessive margins and long title are corrected.
