How to build

AvalonEdit is targeting net5.0-windows, netcoreapp3.1, net40 and net45 TFMs. Because of net5.0-windows you must have the .NET 5.0 SDK installed on your machine. Visual Studio 2019 16.8 and up is required for working with the solution (global.json will select the proper SDK to use for building for you).

Documentation

Check out the official documentation and the samples and articles wiki page

To build the Documentation you need to install Sandcastle from https://github.com/EWSoftware/SHFB/releases (currently validated tooling is v2019.4.14.0)

The build of the Documentation can take very long, please be patient.
