Yes it can. Click the cog wheel button, then check "Hide persistent navigation bar".

That sounds easy, until you realize that half of rustdoc's output is hard-wrapped code anyway. It's not worth it.

OK, thanks! It'd be nice to add a button right on the bar, because these settings and nigh undiscoverable.

Is the name of the setting not clear? Or is the settings button itself not easy to recognize?

(I'm trying to come up with a mitigation that doesn't add another button. Lots of people think rustdoc has too many buttons already.)

A bit of both. It's hard to see the settings icon, it seems to be a part of the search bar. Maybe add a bit of spacing before "?" and the settings button?

The "persistent navigation bar" can probably also be renamed as "side panel".
