A .NET 6/.NET Standard 2.0 library that makes it easier to create beautiful, cross platform, console applications.
It is heavily inspired by the excellent Rich library
for Python.
- Written with unit testing in mind.
- Supports tables, grids, panels, and a rich inspired markup language.
- Supports the most common SRG parameters when it comes to text styling such as bold, dim, italic, underline, strikethrough, and blinking text.
- Supports 3/4/8/24-bit colors in the terminal.
The library will detect the capabilities of the current terminal and downgrade colors as needed.
