Research direction

The issue does not name files or tests. Start by locating the server-api and client-api documentation pages and comparing their current visual styles. Done means users can reliably distinguish which documentation they are viewing, with the chosen visual difference applied consistently.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Think it would be helpful to change the visual style of the the api docs, just to better differentiate the server from the client docs. In the current state I often find myself accidentally getting into the wrong documentation. A drastic visual difference, like a dark background on the server page and a light client-api page would solve that.
