-        * %prog%
+        GHDL offers the simulator and synthesis tool for VHDL. GHDL can be build for various backends:
+        * `gcc` - using the GCC compiler framework
+        * `mcode` - in memory code generation
+        * `llvm` - using the LLVM compiler framework
+        * `llvm-jit` - using the LLVM compiler framework, but in memory
+
+        The following asset categories are provided for GHDL:
+        * macOS x64-64 builds as TAR/GZ file
+        * macOS aarch64 builds as TAR/GZ file
+        * Ubuntu 24.04 LTS builds as TAR/GZ file
+        * Windows builds for standalone usage (without MSYS2) as ZIP file
+        * MSYS2 packages as TAR/ZST file
+
+        # pyGHDL %version%
+
+        The Python package `pyGHDL` offers Python binding (`pyGHDL.libghdl`) to a `libghdl` shared library (`*.so`/`*.dll`).
+        In addition to the low-level binding layer, pyGHDL offers:
+        * a Language Server Protocol (LSP) instance for e.g. live code checking by editors
+        * a Code Document Object Model (CodeDOM) based on [pyVHDLModel](https://github.com/VHDL/pyVHDLModel)
+
+        The following asset categories are provided for pyGHDL:
+        * Platform specific Python wheel package for Ubuntu incl. `pyGHDL...so`
+        * Platform specific Python wheel package for Windows incl. `pyGHDL...dll`

-## Reusable Actions
+## Reusable workflows
-
-- **Artifacts:**  
-  [**pyTooling/upload-artifact**](https://github.com/pyTooling/upload-artifact): The upload-artifact action will
-  preserve file attributes like permissions.
-
-  [**pyTooling/download-artifact**](https://github.com/pyTooling/download-artifact): The download-artifact action will
-  preserve file attributes like permissions.
-
-## Predefined Docker Images
-
-- **Documentation:**  
-  [**MikTeX**](https://github.com/pyTooling/MikTeX): A predefined MikTeX image based on Debian Bookworm + Python 3.13
-  with specific tools for documentation generation using e.g. Sphinx and related extensions.
-
-## Reusable Workflows
 
 This repository provides 10+ *Reusable Workflows* based on the CI pipelines of the repos in this GitHub organisation,
 [EDA²](https://github.com/edaa-org), [VHDL](https://github.com/vhdl), and others. By combining them, Python packages can
 be continuously tested and released along with Sphinx documentation sites, to GitHub Releases, GitHub Pages and PyPI.
 Optionally, coverage and static type check reports can be gathered and integrated into the online documentation.

 As shown in the screenshots above, the expected order is:
 
-- **Global:**  
+- Global:
-  [**Parameters**](.github/workflows/Parameters.yml): It generates output parameters with artifact names and job matrices
+  - [Parameters](.github/workflows/Parameters.yml): a workaround for the limitations to handle global variables in
-  to be used in later running jobs.  
+    GitHub Actions workflows (see [actions/runner#480](https://github.com/actions/runner/issues/480)).
-  It's a workaround for the limitations to handle global variables in GitHub Actions workflows (see
+    It generates outputs with artifact names and job matrices to be used in later running jobs.
-  [actions/runner#480](https://github.com/actions/runner/issues/480)).
+- Code testing/analysis:
-  
+  - [UnitTesting](.github/workflows/UnitTesting.yml): run unit test with `pytest` using multiple versions of Python, and
-  [**ExtractConfiguration**](.github/workflows/ExtractConfiguration.yml): extracts configuration values from
+    optionally upload results as XML reports. Configuration options to `pytest` should be given via section
-  `pyproject.toml` and exposes configured paths and filenames as job output parameters.
+   `[tool.pytest.ini_options]` in a `pyproject.toml` file.
-- **Predefined pipelines:**  
+  - [CoverageCollection](.github/workflows/CoverageCollection.yml): collect code coverage data (incl. branch coverage)
-  [**CompletePipeline**](.github/workflows/CompletePipeline.yml): is a predefined pipeline for typical Python projects
+    with `pytest`/`pytest-cov`/`coverage.py` using a single version of Python (latest). It generates HTML and Cobertura
-  using all predefined job templates of pyTooling at once: (unit testing, code coverage, static typing, documentation
+    (XML)reports, upload the HTML report as an artifact, and upload the test results to Codecov and Codacy. Configuration
-  report generation and publishing, packaging, releasing, ...)
+    options to `pytest` and `coverage.py` should be given via section `[tool.pytest.ini_options]` and `[tool.coverage.*]`
-- **Code testing/analysis:**  
+    in a `pyproject.toml` file.
-  [**ApplicationTesting**](.github/workflows/ApplicationTesting.yml): like UnitTesting, but running tests using an
+  - [StaticTypeCheck](.github/workflows/StaticTypeCheck.yml): collect static type check result with `mypy`, and
-  installed Python package.
+    optionally upload results as an HTML report.
-  
+    Example `commands`:
-  [**UnitTesting**](.github/workflows/UnitTesting.yml): run unit test with `pytest` using multiple versions of Python, and
-  optionally upload results as XML reports. Configuration options to `pytest` should be given via section
-  `[tool.pytest.ini_options]` in a `pyproject.toml` file.  
-  Besides test results, also code coverage data (incl. branch coverage) can be collected using
-  `pytest`/`pytest-cov`/`coverage.py`. Configuration options to `coverage.py` should be given via section
-  `[tool.coverage.*]` in a `pyproject.toml` file.  
-  While multiple report formats can be created in the job, it's recommended to use `PublishTestResults` and/or
-  `PublishCoverageResults` to merge results from matrix runs and then generate final reports as XML, JSON or HTML.  
-  Finally, reports can be published to GitHub Pages or cloud services like Codecov and Codacy.
-  
-  [**StaticTypeCheck**](.github/workflows/StaticTypeCheck.yml): collect static type check result with `mypy`, and
-  optionally upload results as an HTML report.
-  
-  [**VerifyDocs**](.github/workflows/VerifyDocs.yml): extract code examples from the README and test these code snippets.
-- **Packaging and releasing:**  
-  [**Package**](.github/workflows/Package.yml): generate source and wheel packages, and upload them as an artifact.
-
-  [**PublishOnPyPI**](.github/workflows/PublishOnPyPI.yml): publish source and wheel packages to PyPI.
-
-  [**PublishTestResults**](.github/workflows/PublishTestResults.yml): publish unit test results through GH action `dorny/test-reporter`.
-
-  [**PublishCoverageResults**](.github/workflows/PublishCoverageResults.yml): publish ucode coverage results.
-
-  [**NightlyRelease**](.github/workflows/NightlyRelease.yml): publish GitHub Release.
-
-  [**Release**](.github/workflows/Release.yml): publish GitHub Release.
-- **Documentation:**  
-  [**SphinxDocumentation**](.github/workflows/PublishCoverageResults.yml): create HTML and LaTeX documentation using
-  Sphinx.
-  
-  [**LaTeXDocumentation**](.github/workflows/LaTeXDocumentation.yml): compile LaTeX documentation to a PDF file using
-  MikTeX.
-  
-  [**PublishToGitHubPages**](.github/workflows/PublishToGitHubPages.yml): publish HTML documentation to GitHub Pages.
-- **Cleanup:**  
-  [**IntermediateCleanUp**](.github/workflows/IntermediateCleanUp.yml): delete intermediate artifacts.
-  
-  [**ArtifactCleanUp**](.github/workflows/ArtifactCleanUp.yml): delete artifacts.
-- **⚠ Deprecated ⚠:**  
-  [**CoverageCollection**](.github/workflows/CoverageCollection.yml): Use `UnitTesting`, because is can collect code
-  coverage too. This avoids code duplication in job templates.
-  
-  [**BuildTheDocs**](.github/workflows/BuildTheDocs.yml): Use `SphinxDocumentation`, `LaTeXDocumentation` and
-  `PublishToGitHubPages`. BuildTheDocs isn't maintained anymore.
 
+  - [VerifyDocs](.github/workflows/VerifyDocs.yml): extract code examples from the README and test these code snippets.
+- Packaging and releasing:
+  - [Release](.github/workflows/Release.yml): publish GitHub Release.
+  - [Package](.github/workflows/Package.yml): generate source and wheel packages, and upload them as an artifact.
+  - [PublishOnPyPI](.github/workflows/PublishOnPyPI.yml): publish source and wheel packages to PyPI.
+  - [PublishTestResults](.github/workflows/PublishTestResults.yml): publish unit test results through GH action `dorny/test-reporter`.
+- Documentation:
+  - [BuildTheDocs](.github/workflows/BuildTheDocs.yml): build Sphinx documentation with BuildTheDocs, and upload HTML as
+    an artifact.
+  - [PublishToGitHubPages](.github/workflows/PublishToGitHubPages.yml): publish HTML documentation to GitHub Pages.
+- Cleanup:
+  - [ArtifactCleanUp](.github/workflows/ArtifactCleanUp.yml): delete artifacts.
