I have markdown files, you have markdown files we all have markdown files...

We create them to document various parts of projects. Sometimes that documentation would be helpful while folks are using those projects. And thats where this library comes in. This Library provides support for displaying markdown within the console and provides a simple navigation list of links and images within the document. When items from the list are selected their content will be shown inline when possible (aka it's another markdown file, or it's an image and the console appears to be using iTerm2)

I will totally admit README.md files and response that is displayed with --help are not 100% interchangeable, but there is a lot overlap :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Using it is simple

Just call the one public method from the static Displayer.cs class called DisplayMarkdown it accepts the following parameters

name type description required/default
uri Uri The Uri that is either a file containing your markdown, or the web address where said content can be downloaded Yes
allowFollowingLinks bool A flag, when set to true, the list of links will be provided, when false the list is omitted no / true
includeDebug bool A flag, when set to true the content structure is displayed and detail of unsupported markdown is displayed no / false

Checkout ConsoleMarkdownRenderer.Example to see it in use alternate text is missing from this package README image
