        <h2 id="GettingStarted" name="GettingStarted">Getting Started</h2>

        <p>To use the add-in, click the following command</p>

        <div class="command clearboth">
            <div class="command icon">
                <img width=32 height=32 src="resources/command/32x32.png"/>
            </div>
            <div class="command name">

            </div>
            <div class="command command-description">
                Runs the command that will check the content of the sketch that is currently being edited.
                <br />If it finds any curves that has end points which are not connecting to other sketch entities then it
                highlights those sketch points.
            </div>
        </div>

        <h3>Usage</h3>

        <p>Once installed, the <strong>"Sketch Checker"</strong> add-in will create a new button in the menu of the
            <strong>"Model"</strong> workspace's <strong>"Inspect"</strong> panel.<br/>

            <img src="resources/readme/SketchChecker3.png" alt=""/>
            <br/>
            Sometimes it can be difficult to identify at which point the sketch is not properly closed, and so cannot be
            used as a profile for solid creation, e.g. <strong>Extrude</strong>.
            <br />This add-in tries to help with that problem by identifying curves
            which do not connect to other curves leaving the loop open:
            <br/>
            <img src="resources/readme/SketchChecker1.png" alt="" />
            <br />
            Though unlike Inventor, Fusion does not require the sketch curves to connect to each other through a
            sketch point in order to use the enclosed area as a profile for solid creation,
            <br />it could be considered a good practice and can make the sketch look cleaner.
            <br />Unfortunately, if you do not follow that, this add-in will highlight false issues as well along the real ones.
            <br />
            <img src="resources/readme/SketchChecker2.png" alt="" />
            <br />However, most of the time you should still be able to visually distinguish false results from good ones,
            since the real issues are where the curves "seem to be" connected, but they are not.
            <br />
            <img src="resources/readme/SketchChecker4.png" alt="" /><br />

            Once the points have been highlighted the command finishes, so pressing Escape key won't remove the highlight from
            the sketch points. In order to remove the highlight from the points just click anywhere in an empty space inside the sketch.

        <h2 id="Install" name="Install">Installation and Uninstallation</h2>

        <p>
            You can unload the add-in without uninstalling it by clicking the
            <strong>"Stop"</strong> button when the add-in is selected in the list box on the <strong>"Add-Ins"</strong>
            tab of the <strong>"Scripts and Add-Ins"</strong> dialog.<br/>
            <br/>
            Unchecking <strong>"Run on Startup"</strong> causes the add-in not to be loaded in future sessions of
            <strong>Fusion 360</strong>.<br/>
