[WIP] Auto-generated documentation pages are poorly formatted and hard to navigate. Maybe we can better use pydoc-markdown?

This PR dramatically improves the auto-generated API documentation pages by implementing better formatting, hierarchical navigation, and visual styling inspired by Microsoft's documentation standards.
Problem
The current auto-generated documentation pages were poorly formatted and difficult to navigate:
Solution
Enhanced pydoc-markdown Configuration
Comprehensive CSS Styling
Hierarchical Navigation Structure
Result
The API documentation now provides clear hierarchical navigation similar to Microsoft's documentation standards, making it significantly easier for developers to browse through classes, methods, parameters, and return values.
Key improvements:
The auto-generated API documentation is now professional, well-organized, and significantly more navigable than the previous flat structure.
Fixes #543.
