Research direction

Start from the existing “Quick Example: Ruby on Web browser” and its index.html example. Add a second example showing the syntax for using a simple Ruby gem in the browser, and make the example runnable like the existing one. The issue does not name a documentation file, gem, or test, so those must be located first.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Right now we have this:

Quick Example: Ruby on Web browser
Create and save index.html page with the following contents:

And this works, I tested it.

Could a second example be added, but one that also shows how to embed a simple gem?

May be enough for a "hello world", or any other simple gem for that matter.

I would like to see the syntax, for making use of gems as add-on.
