It was built out of a need to shows the XAML for the theme library [MaterialDesignInXamlToolkit](https://github.com/ButchersBoy/MaterialDesignInXamlToolkit).

## Setup
1. Install the MSBuild package. `PM> Install-Package ShowMeTheXAML.MSBuild` This will also install the `ShowMeTheXAML` package as well.
2. Add the following code in your `App.xaml.cs`
```C#
protected override void OnStartup(StartupEventArgs e)
{
    XamlDisplay.Init();
    base.OnStartup(e);
}
```
3. (Optional) The default template is pretty basic. For a better looking style add the ShowMeTheXAML.AvalonEdit package. `PM> Install-Package ShowMeTheXAML.AvalonEdit`
In App.xaml include the resource dictionary.
```XAML
<Application.Resources>
    <ResourceDictionary>
        <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
            <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/ShowMeTheXAML.AvalonEdit;component/Themes/xamldisplayer.xaml" />
