DL = Data List (IIRC), holds DT & DD in pairs, tag and definition. I'm
not a web programmer, but the HTML looks well-formed, with a DL inside a
DD. ISTR that I've even done this in the past, with hand-written HTML,
back in the mid-nineties.
Looking at the source, then at the referenced style sheet, I see this:
dl dd dl{margin-left:-180px}
That explains the left-shift, so the only question is _why_ is that
there.
I've looked with, on MacOS, all of Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Opera.
In all four, all of the content can be fully viewed; it's an index, so
the text is brief, I can't spot anything missing. Everything's off to
the left, so the layout/typesetting is unsound and this is certainly a
bug, but I'm not seeing anything inaccessible.

What Todd said. :) Flaws in Exim's documentation are bugs, just like
C level code bugs, just hopefully with fewer ramifications.
