Hello,

Advising of responsive layout issues on the documentation when viewed with a tablet (iPad). The document text is the width of 1 word, making it impossible to read.

Example: Guide to cPanel Interface Customization - cPanel Style Development · cPanel & WHM Developer Portal
Hi,

We are unable to reproduce on multiple devices in our documentation department - Are you using Safari on the iPad? What version of iOS?

Trying to determine what could be causing that - possibly due to the resolution you have set?

Thanks for letting us know! Definitely not the experience we want you to have when viewing our docs!

Jennifer

Another possibility could be due to viewing the desktop version of the site, instead of the mobile version. The side menu shouldn't show by default using the mobile version, so I would guess that your iPad is pulling the desktop version for some reason.

Thanks @cPanelJenn

That's was a good possibility so I checked and it's definitely not requesting desktop layout. I'm now on iPadOS 15.3.1 with Safari browser and also Chrome browser and it's the same. However I found out in portrait mode it is better than landscape.

I'll attachsome screenshots taken just now using both browsers and also portrait test. :).
