Supported Frameworks

ReverseMarkdown targets netstandard2.0, net8.0, net9.0, and net10.0.

The netstandard2.0 target means it also runs on:

• .NET Framework 4.6.1+
• .NET Core 2.0+
• Mono / Xamarin
• Unity

in addition to modern .NET (8/9/10).

Dependencies

• AngleSharp - the HTML5-compliant parser used by the v6 conversion pipeline.

On netstandard2.0, the library uses the source-only Polyfill package (no runtime dependency) so modern BCL/LINQ/Regex APIs compile on the older target.

Trimming and Native AOT

ReverseMarkdown is compatible with trimming and Native AOT on the modern targets (net8.0+). The library is marked IsAotCompatible, and its CI publishes a Native AOT app on every change and fails on any trim (IL2xxx) or AOT (IL3xxx) warning.

The default conversion path uses no reflection, so new Converter().Convert(html) is trim/AOT safe out of the box.

The one reflection-based feature is the [MarkdownReader] + assembly-scanning form of custom readers: those constructor overloads are annotated [RequiresUnreferencedCode] / [RequiresDynamicCode] and will produce analyzer warnings under trimming/AOT. Register readers explicitly instead - no reflection:

var converter = new ReverseMarkdown.Converter();
converter.RegisterReader("mark", new HighlightReader());

See Trimming and Native AOT in the extending guide for details.

netstandard2.0

netstandard2.0 is not a Native AOT target, so IsAotCompatible is not applied there. AOT is a net8.0+ concern.
