Description

I recently made quite a few theme improvements to RDoc, along with community contributed changes like SEO tags...etc., which are all applied to the master documentation (https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/master/index.html).
But since most of users will still be using Ruby 3.3 and prior versions for years to come, I think it'd be better if we can apply the same changes to their documentation too. I'd appreciate some pointers or even collaborations to make that happen. Thank you 🙂

Research direction

Compare the master documentation at docs.ruby-lang.org/en/master/index.html with the versioned Ruby 3.3 and earlier documentation to identify the generation differences. Then inspect this repository's documentation-generation entry points and determine how the latest released RDoc can be applied across supported Ruby versions; done means the versioned sites contain the requested theme and SEO improvements.
