Unfortunately the link is unreadable on mobile due to the sidebar taking all the space.
Quickfix : I have added a button to hide the TOC. Not sure if it fits mobile screens anyway.
Body text remains at its original width when ToC is hidden, remaining unreadable at like 10% of screen width (with a lot of blank space).

Probably better quick fix: have ToC initialize as hidden on page load

This has been rectified, by the way.
