## What it is
A permissively licensed (Zlib) single-header C++11 library that renders Markdown inside Dear ImGui applications. It supports headers, emphasis, lists, links, images, and horizontal rules for in-game or tool UIs.

## Use cases
- render markdown text in an imgui ui
- display formatted help or docs inside a game tool
- show rich text with links and images in dear imgui
- add markdown rendering to a c++ desktop app
- render in-app documentation in an imgui-based editor

## When to choose
- you already use Dear ImGui and need lightweight markdown rendering
- you want a single-header, permissively licensed dependency
- you need basic markdown (headers, emphasis, lists, links, images) in a game or tool UI

## When to avoid
- you need full CommonMark compliance or complex markdown features like tables
- you are not using Dear ImGui
- you need server-side or standalone markdown-to-HTML conversion

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: markdown, ui-components, gui
- domain: developer-tools, graphics
- platform: cpp, cross-platform
- tags: dear-imgui, single-header, immediate-mode-gui, gamedev, game-development, desktop
