## What it is
A 100% managed C# library that renders HTML 4.01 and CSS level 2 content across WinForms, WPF, Mono, and PDF generation scenarios. It provides UI controls (HtmlPanel, HtmlLabel, HtmlToolTip) and utilities to generate images or PDF documents from HTML snippets without external dependencies.

## Use cases
- render html snippets in a winforms or wpf app
- convert html to pdf in c#
- generate images from html code
- display rich text from web editors like forum or blog content
- replace the webbrowser control with a lightweight managed renderer
- render office documents converted to html with text selection support

## When to choose
- you need offline HTML rendering in .NET without WebBrowser/COM dependencies
- you want to generate PDFs or images from simple HTML/CSS snippets
- you target WinForms, WPF, or Mono with a lightweight (~300K) managed library

## When to avoid
- you need modern HTML5, CSS3, or JavaScript support
- you need a full browser-grade rendering engine
- your project requires active development of new features
