It looks like it's pulling from the wrong source[1]. It should be:


https://www.postgresql.org/dyncss/base.css

There are a few more dependencies now as well to get the Bootstrap
structure and the font:

https://www.postgresql.org/media/css/fontawesome.css
https://www.postgresql.org/media/css/bootstrap.min.css

(And one for another font...which I see we should import the dependency on).

This should likely be a small quick change. I was going to try to say
"after the release" comment, but given I'm in both codebases at the
moment, I'll do a quick test and see how it looks.

(FWIW, I test the appearance a bit differently. I actually import built
documentation into my local copy of pgweb and tinker from there, as I'll
have all the dependencies available. That likely is not a viable option
for most people working on the documentation [unless we make it easier
to get pgweb up and running]).
