-## 🛠️ Development Setup
-
-1. **Clone the Repository**
-
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/your-username/SuperDoc.git
-cd SuperDoc
-```
-
-2. **Choose Your Package**
-
-SuperDoc consists of two main packages:
-
-- **/packages/superdoc**: Main package (recommended)
-
- ```bash
- cd packages/superdoc
- npm install && npm run dev
- ```
-
-- **/packages/super-editor**: Core editor component
- ```bash
- cd packages/super-editor
- npm install && npm run dev
- ```
-
-## 🏗️ Architecture
-
-SuperDoc uses a **paginated-only** rendering approach powered by `PresentationEditor` and the layout engine:
-
-- **For web applications**: Use `SuperDoc` - it automatically uses `PresentationEditor` for paginated rendering
-- **For Node.js/CLI/headless environments**: Use `Editor` directly from `@superdoc/super-editor`
-
-The layout engine provides:
-- True WYSIWYG page rendering with accurate pagination
-- Support for multi-column layouts, headers, footers, and section breaks
-- Virtualization for optimal performance with large documents
-- Zoom controls and responsive page scaling
-
-**Note**: If you need a flow-mode (unpaginated) editor, use the core `Editor` class directly. SuperDoc is designed for paginated document editing.
