Walkthrough

The README is reorganized, and a .NET showcase project now generates two ANSI and HTML comparison pages. A capture script validates required tools and creates screenshots from those pages. The showcase README documents setup and capture instructions.

Changes

Showcase and Documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Showcase pages
docs/showcase/MarkupString.Showcase.csproj, docs/showcase/Program.cs
Adds a .NET executable that registers ANSI, HTML, and layout-image support. It builds a box layout and a figure, then writes comparison pages with ANSI-converted and native HTML output.
Screenshot capture workflow
docs/showcase/capture.sh, docs/showcase/README.md, docs/showcase/.gitignore
Adds prerequisite and version checks, screenshot capture and image processing, and instructions for generating the screenshots. The showcase output directory is ignored by Git.
README overview and guides
README.md
Reorganizes the project overview, quick start, package list, Unicode layout summary, documentation links, requirements, and contributing instructions. Removes several detailed explanations of markup registration, rendering, and Unicode behavior.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Other

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 3b326

The screenshot workflow can accept a substituted font, changing the generated images. Verify the font family before capture; this bounded documentation risk does not otherwise block merging.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Verify the matched font family.

If DejaVu Sans Mono is absent, fc-match can return a different installed font. The version check can still pass, so the script can produce a capture with a substituted font. Check the matched family as well as its version before capture. (fontconfig.pages.freedesktop.org)
