AvalonEdit is available as NuGet package. Usage details, documentation and more can be found on the AvalonEdit homepage

How to build

AvalonEdit is targeting net6.0-windows and net462 TFMs. Because of net6.0-windows you must have the .NET 6.0 SDK installed on your machine. Visual Studio 2022 Community 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 v2021.4.9.0)

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