        HTML Renderer [![Build status](https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/cm8xpf8ebt3hyi3e)](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/ArthurHub/html-renderer)

=============

## Help Wanted

* Looking for a contributor(s) to take this project forward as I'm unable to continue supporting it.

* Contribute directly to the repository and update nuget packages.

#### Documentation, Discussion and Issue tracking is on [CodePlex](https://htmlrenderer.codeplex.com/).

**Cross framework** (WinForms/WPF/PDF/Metro/Mono/etc.), **Multipurpose** (UI Controls / Image generation / PDF generation / etc.), **100% managed** (C#), High performance HTML Rendering library.

The library is 100% managed **C#** code without any external dependencies (no WebBrowser control, ActiveX / COM or MSHTML dll), the only requirement is **.NET 2.0 or higher**.

#### [Download](https://htmlrenderer.codeplex.com/releases/) the [Demo application](https://htmlrenderer.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Demo%20application&referringTitle=Home) to explore HTML Renderer capabilities.
