No way to hide TOC with narrow windows!
No way to hide TOC even with Sphinx 6.0.0 (in development)...

I consider Sphinx as the best documentation tool to craft professional documentation and books. If you have an Sphinx project and miss quick online reStrucutedText and Sphinx editor with preview, you should give https://snippets.documatt.com a try.

What is Sphinx?

Sphinx is a tool that makes it easy to create intelligent and beautiful documentation, written by Georg Brandl and licensed under the BSD license.

It was originally created for the Python documentation, and it has excellent facilities for the documentation of Python projects, but C/C++ is already supported as well, and it is planned to add special support for other languages as well.
