Subject: Parameterize the styling of the page width
X-Git-Url: https://git.cworth.org/git?p=lmno.games;a=commitdiff_plain;h=06a42682201c8bfdf8da363519be113f943fd7b8

Parameterize the styling of the page width

Now that I now we can use CSS variables, I can define some top-level
variables to control the page width and then use those for derived
values.

This makes the styling _much_ more maintainable as it's actually
possible to change a single variable and have several related values
change as appopriate.
