-QuestPDF is an open-source, modern and battle-tested library that can help you with generating PDF documents by offering friendly, discoverable and predictable C# fluent API.
+QuestPDF is an open-source .NET library for PDF documents generation.
 
-## Features
+It offers a layouting engine designed with a full paging support in mind. The document consists of many simple elements (e.g. border, background, image, text, padding, table, grid etc.) that are composed together to create more complex structures. This way, as a developer, you can understand the behavior of every element and use them with full confidence. Additionally, the document and all its elements support paging functionality. For example, an element can be moved to the next page (if there is not enough space) or even be split between pages like table's rows.
 
-**Rely on solid fundamentals** - This library is created specifically for designing and arranging document layouts, with full paging support.  Alternative solutions, such as HTML-based converters, are not designed for this purpose and therefore are often unpredictable and do not produce desired results.
+Unlike other libraries, it does not rely on the HTML-to-PDF conversion which in many cases is not reliable. Instead, it implements its own layouting engine that is optimized to cover all paging-related requirements.
 
-**Work with organized self-explanatory code** - The entire process of implementing PDF document, takes place in your code. Free yourself from slow visual designers and strange technological limitations. Follow simple yet highly effective approaches to create maintainable, high-quality code.
+## Installation
 
-**Compose simple components into complex documents** - Do you remember the feeling when your code just works? When your ideas are becoming real without any effort? Working with simple, easy to understand, self-explanatory and highly composable layout elements is the key here!
+The library is available as a nuget package. You can install it as any other nuget package from your IDE, try to search by `QuestPDF`. You can find package details [on this webpage](https://www.nuget.org/packages/QuestPDF/).
 
-**Create and reuse components** - Feel no fear of complex documents! Create custom, reusable components and divide the document's layout into easy to maintain pieces. Inject data to customize content and use slots to enhance composability. Decide how complex approaches your solution needs and follow the best path.
+```xml
+// Package Manager
+Install-Package QuestPDF
 
-**Prototype with ease** - We understand that document generation is often tricky and require multiple iterations. The library offers additional prototyping tools such as random text generator or image placeholder element. By following best practices, you can develop a document without having data.
+// .NET CLI
+dotnet add package QuestPDF
 
-**Enjoy fast PDF generation** - QuestPDF is created upon SkiaSharp, a well-known graphical library, and converts your data into PDF documents. It offers a highly optimized layouting engine capable of generating over 1000 PDF files per minute per core. The entire process is thread-safe.
+// Package reference in .csproj file
+<PackageReference Include="QuestPDF" Version="2022.3.0" />

-- Added a `ScaleToFit` element - scales its child down so it fits in the provided space,
-- Added a `StopPaging` element - when its child requires more than one page to fully render, only the first page is shown,
-- Added a 'LineVertical' and a 'LineHorizontal' elements - those will simplify your code a lot, there is no need to use the `Border` element anymore!
-- Renaming: the `Stack` element was renamed to the `Column` element,
-- Renaming: children of the `Row` element are now called `items` instead of `columns`, e.g. `RelativeItem` instead of `RelativeColumn`,
-- Added support of the `AutoItem` to the `Row` element - those items take as little width as possible,
-- Improved default Fluent configuration behavior for elements: Scale, Padding, Translate,
-- Improved integration support with the HttpContext.Response.Body. This improvement was introduced by schulz3000, thank you!
+- Added minimal API to help you quickly start with QuestPDF development and speed up prototyping,
+- Improved exception message when desired font type cannot be found (instead of loading default font on Windows and failing with wrong characters on Linux),
+- Improved support for custom font types: loading all type faces from a file, respecting true font family, using CSS-like algorithm to find best style match,
+- Added support for custom page number formats in the `Text` element, e.g. you can implement roman literal style if required,
+- Improved text API to make it more concise,
+- Extended support for the `Section` element (previously the `Location` element) by tracking: beginning page number, end page number, page length, page number within location,
+- Renaming: the `ExternalLink` element was renamed to the `Hyperlink` element,
+- Renaming: the `Location` element was renamed to the `Section` element,
+- Renaming: the `InternalLink` element was renamed to the `SectionLink` element,
+- Updated homepage and GitHub pages content.

-QuestPDF presents a new approach to PDF document generation. Unlike other libraries, it does not rely on the HTML-to-PDF conversion which in many cases is not reliable. Instead, it implements its own layouting engine that is optimized to cover all paging-related requirements. Then, everything is rendered using the SkiaSharp library (a Skia port for .NET, used in Chrome, Android, MAUI, etc.).
+---
 
-I have designed this layouting engine with full paging support in mind. The document consists of many simple elements (e.g. border, background, image, text, padding, table, grid etc.) that are composed together to create more complex structures. This way, as a developer, you can understand the behaviour of every element and use them with full confidence. Additionally, the document and all its elements support paging functionality. For example, an element can be moved to the next page (if there is not enough space) or even be split between pages like table's rows.

+## Simplicity is the key
 
-Here you can find an example code showing how easy is to write and understand the fluent API.
-
-**General document structure** with header, content and footer:
+How easy it is to start and prototype with QuestPDF? Really easy thanks to its minimal API! Please analyse the code below:
 
 ```csharp
-public void Compose(IDocumentContainer container)
+using QuestPDF.Fluent;
+using QuestPDF.Helpers;
+using QuestPDF.Infrastructure;
+
+// code in your main method
+Document.Create(container =>
 {
-    container
-        .Page(page =>
-        {
-            page.Margin(50);
-            
-            page.Header().Element(ComposeHeader);
-            page.Content().Element(ComposeContent);
-            
-            page.Footer().AlignCenter().Text(x =>
+    container.Page(page =>
+    {
+        page.Size(PageSizes.A4);
+        page.Margin(2, Unit.Centimetre);
+        page.Background(Colors.White);
+        page.DefaultTextStyle(x => x.FontSize(20));
+        
+        page.Header()
+            .Text("Hello PDF!")
+            .SemiBold().FontSize(36).FontColor(Colors.Blue.Medium);
+        
+        page.Content()
+            .PaddingVertical(1, Unit.Centimetre)
+            .Column(x =>
             {
+                x.Spacing(20);
+                
+                x.Item().Text(Placeholders.LoremIpsum());
+                x.Item().Image(Placeholders.Image(200, 100));
+            });
+        
+        page.Footer()
+            .AlignCenter()
+            .Text(x =>
+            {
+                x.Span("Page ");
                 x.CurrentPageNumber();
-                x.Span(" / ");
-                x.TotalPages();
             });
-        });
-}
-```
-
-**The header area** consists of basic invoice information along with a logo placeholder.
-
-```csharp
-void ComposeHeader(IContainer container)
-{
-    var titleTextStyle = TextStyle.Default.Size(20).SemiBold().Color(Colors.Blue.Medium);
-    
-    container.Row(row =>
-    {
-        row.RelativeColumn().Stack(stack =>
-        {
-            stack.Item().Text($"Invoice #{Model.InvoiceNumber}", titleStyle);
-
-            stack.Item().Text(text =>
-            {
-                text.Span("Issue date: ", TextStyle.Default.SemiBold());
-                text.Span($"{Model.IssueDate:d}");

-        });
-        
-        row.ConstantColumn(100).Height(50).Placeholder();
     });
-}
+})
+.GeneratePdf("hello.pdf");
 ```
 
-Implementation of **the content area** that contains seller and customer details, then listing of all bought products, then a comments section.
+And compare it to the produced PDF file:
 
-```csharp
-void ComposeContent(IContainer container)
-{
-    container.PaddingVertical(40).Stack(column => 
-    {
-        column.Spacing(20);
