Research direction

Search the repository for simrat39/symbols-outline.nvim and inspect the example that contains it. Choose whether to replace the example or use a maintained fork, then update it and verify that no example still recommends the archived plugin.

Description

The current example for how to add plugins is using the simrat39/symbols-outline.nvim plugin. Since it's been archived, it should no longer be used in any example since new users have a bit of a habit of just copy-pasting whatever they see.

Either we should change this example into something else entirely, or switch to a maintained fork of the plugin.
