I care. The problem last time is that we were in the middle of the last
commitfest, so we were (or at least I was) distracted by other stuff.

Looking at the resulting psql page,
https://pgdocs.piening.info/app-psql.html#APP-PSQL-OPTIONS-EXPANDED
I note that the ID for the -x option is called "options-blah". I
understand where does this come from: it's the "expanded" bit in the
"options" section. However, put together it's a bit silly to have
"options" in plural there; it would make more sense to have it be
https://pgdocs.piening.info/app-psql.html#APP-PSQL-OPTION-EXPANDED
(where you can read more naturally "the expanded option for psql").
How laborious would it be to make it so?

It'll probably have some conflicts, yeah.

I would welcome separate patches: one to add the IDs, another for the
XSL/CSS stuff. That allows us to discuss them separately.
