Hello I am looking for a tool to document an extensive API that is implemented in Julia. The package has its own documentation but additionally we would like to create a documentation for the API and the API requests since they are very spesific and quite complex.  
A template i would like to follow is [VBIT.Observation specification](https://observation.devapi.vbit.com/spec/#tag/observation)

Can i implement something alike with `Documenter.jl`? Specifically can I put together a description on the left and a json example on the right?

I looked at the examples but could not find anyhting. Is Documenter the right tool to use here or should i look for a different solutoin? The functionality of documenter looks more like a top to bottom thread/notebook. I do not know how I would achieve a page on the right. I guess i could program HTLM directly in the markdown? But this would not be my ideal solutoin.
