Docs Meeting Update

As I said, button style matching our website. Screenshot attached.
The CSS is simple and should be relatively easily findable from the
theme sources – it uses the class "button". (FWIW, the blue bottom
border is currently applied with the classes "button primary", but this
will be legacy code when the new Gutenberg-based theme is out. The docs
will likely need slightly modified CSS definitions.)
Cheers,
Pasi
