Getting NotFoundError: Failed to execute 'removeChild' on 'Node' on Nextjs app directory

I'm getting the following error when trying to use this package inside the Next.js app directory:

Unhandled Runtime Error: NotFoundError: Failed to execute 'removeChild' on 'Node': The node to be removed is not a child of this node."

Actually fix is quite simple if the library is still under maintaines. Developers should replace

<RenderReactNode
  selector={'0'}
  node={doc.documentElement}
  index={0}
/>

with

<RenderReactNode
  selector={'0'}
  node={doc.body.children[0] as HTMLElement}
  index={0}
/>

Both in HtmlStringToReactNodes.tsx and HtmlStringToPreviewReactNodes.tsx.

That not only will make it work correctly as it will not produce html tag inside of root html tag but also will allow to use the editor in nextjs app router.
