Now the row page looks like this at all page widths:

I think that's better (could do with a bit of tightening up).

One catch: you can't copy and paste the column labels, since they are added using generated content like this:

I think the row page should switch to different HTML entirely, rather than continuing to share the `<table>` that's used by the table page.

This will be a breaking change for users who customize Datasette, so I should aim to ship it before 1.0.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",1563264257,
