Code was forked from https://github.com/ArthurHub/HTML-Renderer, and this fork is maintained for .NET 6. A product at Westermo was dependent on the original package. As the product evolved, and was ported to .NET 6 (the continuation of .NET Core), the package had to be recompiled to not lock onto the .NET Framework. The result is a library that targets .NET 6 Windows. As such it may now safely be used with applications targeting .NET 6 on Windows.
Westermo does not actively develop this package, but does not oppose collaboration. Even though the package is fairly complete, PRs are welcome should they benefit any users of Html-renderer.
The namespace has been prefixed with Westermo.
The PdfSharp renderer is no longer compiled, as it has a dependency that has not been ported from .NET Framework to .NET. This package is not used by Westermo. Feel free to submit a PR!
