What element types can I include in my templates?

You can use text, flex containers, images, QR codes, barcodes, separators, tables, SVGs, and formatted content (Markdown/HTML).

Does FlexRender support dynamic data binding?

Yes. The skill handles template expressions for variable substitution, conditional rendering (if), and iterating over arrays (each) to create dynamic content.

What is FlexRender and how does it work?

FlexRender is a .NET-based engine that renders images from YAML templates. It uses a CSS-like flexbox model to determine element positioning and styling.

Can I preview my template changes in real-time?

Yes, this skill provides support for 'watch mode' using the flexrender CLI, which automatically re-renders your preview image every time the YAML file is saved.

How do I ensure my YAML template is valid?

The skill utilizes the 'flexrender validate' command to check your YAML against the schema and 'debug-layout' to visualize the box model and fix spacing issues.
