I use this notes section more than anything else. I keep notes on what I did to set things up, how to fix issues as they arise on the guest, links to all kinds of things, etc. etc...

But It is so tiny that a lot of the time I just click "edit" and view it as raw markdown. :( That little button is backwards; it shrinks the whole panel instead of expanding it IMHO.

PLEASE make this a first class citizen and give it the space and polish it deserves. It would be really great if you could have more CSS for the blocks (and support the extra tags like ```bash or ```yaml or things like that) and also distinguish > as an inset little quote area... basically make it nice and colorful and look like Github does (example here https://github.com/microsoft/markitdown ).

It would be fantastic if I could drag the boxes around and resize to my own preference order. For me, I'd want the Notes to take up that whole left side column (both top and bottom. Then I'd put the stats (CPU,RAM,etc) as a block on the right side top. I'd make CPU and RAM as 1/2 sizers under that and network and disk same thing... or maybe those four as 1/4 sizers and click on them to expand them or something so i can have a quick overview and drill into something that seems high real quick.

I love the expansion of the documentation section. We restricted ourselves so that we often just link to a Wiki page on which we have more information about the host and also link to tickets documenting changes to the server. This works great but has of course external dependencies.
 
Oh come on man! Can you also increase the size limitation here?! Isn't this basically just the text file `/etc/pve/qemu-server/118.conf`, so why even have any hardcoded limit at all?

https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6579 added as well.

@LnxBil you have a great idea there about the wiki. I love wikis. I use Confluence at work all day long; I used to use Trac years ago locally. Not sure why it never occurred to me to set one up now that I have LXC/VM on my Proxmox :oops:

I just setup this https://community-scripts.github.io/ProxmoxVE/scripts?id=wikijs and man have they come a LONG way compared to Trac ! I love that this has 1st class citizen support for Markdown so it makes it super easy to copy and paste from 'mox to wiki.js. And even better, it renders them beautifully! AND I completely forgot about the value of inserting images (like screenshots) and it can even do diagrams like PlantUML and others!

This doesn't deprecate my requests but thank you for re-opening my eyes to the obvious (and arguably better) solution. #KISS #DRY
