💡 Key Design Goal

This library was built with one major principle in mind:

Minimal, dependency-free, plug-and-play Markdown ⇄ HTML, AmigaGuide → HTML/MD, and Smart plain text → HTML conversion.

It is designed to be seamlessly integrated into:

Just copy the C# class into your project and use it directly:

string html = ConvMarkdownHtml.Convert(markdown);

string markdown = ConvHtmlMarkdown.Convert(html);

string html = ConvGuideHtml.Convert(amigaGuide);

string html = ConvHtmlMarkdown.SmartTxtConvert(txt);

string txt = ConvHtmlMarkdown.ConvertToTxt(html);

No runtime dependencies, no configuration, no surprises.
