Can't we just keep the interesting part in this section? a complete example seems superfluous and gives a lot of space to UMD in this page.
| ## Install via UMD build (plain `<script>` tags) | ||
| Alongside the ES module (ESM) build, every Scandit package ships a [UMD](https://github.com/umdjs/umd) build. This lets you load the SDK with plain `<script>` tags, without a bundler or an [import map](#install-via-cdn). Each package exposes its exports on a browser global: |

We should mention that using UMD leads to longer startup time because of larger files to download (it cannot be optimised like a bundle consuming our ES modules), so it should only be used when ES module is not possible.

Adds an "Install via UMD build" section to the Web SDK installation page, covering how to load the SDK from plain
<script>tags via browser globals, without a bundler — complementing the existing npm and ESM/CDN options.Tested locally with
yarn build.Note for reviewers: the UMD build ships in 8.6.0 (SDC-31903, fix version
8.6.0-beta.1). It is not in 8.5.x — verified not cherry-picked torelease/8.5— so the/umdCDN paths in the example won't resolve until 8.6.0 is released. Please don't publish this page before the 8.6.0 release.Closes SDC-32633
