It is ideal for displaying documentation, help content, release notes, and other formatted text that uses complex UI layouts. The control supports standard Markdown syntax including headings, bold and italic text, lists, tables, images, and code blocks.

Excellent experience with Syncfusion!

Syncfusion is a product that makes life easier! I use it to create Blazor applications (server side and webassembly) and the controls speed up development a lot. Furthermore, if needed, it is possible to ask for direct support that is never long in coming!
