[vcpkg-docs] Rework documentation for compatibility with readthedocs.io and MkDocs. 2017-05-24 23:33:16 -07:00			`### Quick Start`

			`### Examples`

Rename example documents The current names and titles of the examples put too much emphasis on the package which is being demonstrated rather than the concept. This can be jarring for newcomers. This patch renames them to put the emphasis on the concept instead. 2018-11-15 11:18:48 +00:00			`- [Installing and Using Packages Example: sqlite](examples/installing-and-using-packages.md)`
