Special thanks to @ZombieRaccoon for creating a Conan recipe for RmlUi and keeping it up to date on ConanCenter. RmlUi has also been added to vcpkg as of RmlUi 4.1. These dependency managers should make it a lot more convenient to consume RmlUi in your projects, more details can be found in the documentation.

The documentation has also been updated with a search feature. Hopefully this will help you find the things you are looking for, let me know if there are any issues. I would also like to give a gentle reminder that documentation pull requests are very much welcome. There's a handy "edit" button on pages so you can edit and submit a PR directly on GitHub, don't be afraid to use it for even the smallest things, thanks!

A special thanks goes to @barotto and @ZombieRaccoon for general improvements to the documentation.
