// Implements smooth scrolling when clicking on an anchor link.
// This is required instead of using modern CSS because Chromium does not currently support scrolling
// one element with scrollTo while another element is scrolled because of a click on a link. This would
// thus not work with the ToC scrollspy and e.g. footnotes.
