Source: https://mikke89.github.io/RmlUiDoc/pages/cpp_manual/main_loop.html

This snippet demonstrates the fundamental steps to initialize RmlUi, create a context, load a document, and run the main application loop. It includes input processing, application updates, RmlUi context updates, and rendering. Ensure custom render and system interfaces are set up before initialization.

```cpp
#include <RmlUi/Core.h>
#include <RmlUi/Debugger.h>

class MyRenderInterface : public Rml::RenderInterface
{
	/* ... */
}

class MySystemInterface : public Rml::SystemInterface
{
	/* ... */
}


int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
	// Initialize the window and graphics API being used, along with your game or application.

	/* ... */

	// Instantiate the interfaces to RmlUi.
	MyRenderInterface render_interface;
	MySystemInterface system_interface;

	// Begin by installing the custom interfaces.
	Rml::SetRenderInterface(&render_interface);
	Rml::SetSystemInterface(&system_interface);

	// Now we can initialize RmlUi.
	Rml::Initialise();

	// Create a context next.
	Rml::Context* context = Rml::CreateContext("main", Rml::Vector2i(window_width, window_height));
	if (!context)
	{
		Rml::Shutdown();
		return -1;
	}

	// If you want to use the debugger, initialize it now.
	Rml::Debugger::Initialise(context);

	// Fonts should be loaded before any documents are loaded.
	Rml::LoadFontFace("my_font_file.otf");

	// Now we are ready to load our document.
	Rml::ElementDocument* document = context->LoadDocument("my_document.rml");
	if (!document)
	{
		Rml::Shutdown();
		return -1;
	}

	document->Show();

	bool exit_application = false;
	while (!exit_application)
	{
		// We assume here that we have some way of updating and retrieving inputs internally.
		my_input->Update();

		if (my_input->KeyPressed(KEY_ESC))
			exit_application = true;

		// Submit input events before the call to Context::Update().
		if (my_input->MouseMoved())
			context->ProcessMouseMove(mouse_pos.x, mouse_pos.y, 0);

		// Toggle the debugger with a key binding.
		if (my_input->KeyPressed(KEY_F8))
			Rml::Debugger::SetVisible(!Rml::Debugger::IsVisible());

		// This is a good place to update your game or application.
		my_application->Update();

		// Update any elements to reflect changed data.
		if (Rml::Element* el = document->GetElementById("score"))
			el->SetInnerRML("Current score: " + my_application->GetScoreAsString());

		// Update the context to reflect any changes resulting from input events, animations, modified and
		// added elements, or changed data in data bindings.
		context->Update();

		// After the context update, the properties and layout of all elements are properly resolved.
		// At this point, we should no longer change any elements, or submit input or other events until
		// after the call to Context::Render().

		// Render your game or application.
		my_application->Render();

		// Set up rendering states for RmlUi, use `Backend::BeginFrame` for the built-in backends.
		my_renderer->BeginUserInterface();

		// Render the user interface on top of the application.
		context->Render();

		// Present the rendered frame, use `Backend::PresentFrame` for the built-in backends.
		my_renderer->PresentFrame();
	}

	// Shutting down RmlUi releases all its resources, including elements, documents, and contexts.
	Rml::Shutdown();

	// It is now safe to destroy the custom interfaces previously passed to RmlUi.

	return 0;
}

}

int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE instance_handle, HINSTANCE previous_instance_handle, char* command_line, int command_show)
{
    // Initialize the window and graphics API being used, along with the renderer, system, and other interfaces, ...

    // ...

    // Instantiate the text input handler managing the IME.
    text_input_method_editor = Rml::MakeUnique<TextInputMethodEditor_Win32>();

    // Install the custom interface.
    Rml::SetTextInputHandler(text_input_method_editor.get());

    // Now we can initialize RmlUi.
    Rml::Initialise();

    // Create a context next.
    context = Rml::CreateContext("main", Rml::Vector2i(window_width, window_height));
    if (context == nullptr)
    {
        Rml::Shutdown();
        return -1;
    }

    // Load documents, handle the application loop, ...

    // ...

    // Shutting down RmlUi releases all its resources, including contexts that work with the text input handler.
    Rml::Shutdown();

    // It is now safe to destroy the custom interfaces previously passed to RmlUi, such as the text input handler.
    text_input_method_editor.reset();

    return 0;
}
