			<section>
				<p><em>Benoit</em> is a Rust-written programme for visualising complex functions, e.g. <em>the Mandelbrot Set</em> and similar fractals.</p>
				<br>
				<x-image alt="A render of a single Minibrot on a green background. The render is coloures so that it resembles lightning coming from the Minibrot." data-file="benoit_screenshot0"></x-image>
				<br>
				<p>The project consists of the core <a href="https://crates.io/crates/benoit/"><code>benoit</code></a> crate, from which the frontends <code>benoit-cli</code> and (in the future) <code>benoit-gui</code> derive.</p>
			</section>

			<h1 id="anchor.benoitCli">benoit-cli</h1>

			<section>
				<p>The <code>benoit-cli</code> executable can render and animate using <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TOML/">TOML</a> files right from the commandline.</p>
				<br>
				<x-image alt="A Julia Set centred on a point inside the Mandelbrot Set. The resulting image resembles creeping, black vines with rainbows around." data-file="benoit_screenshot1"></x-image>
			</section>

			<h1 id="anchor.benoitGui">benoit-gui</h1>

			<section>
				<p>The <code>benoit-gui</code> executable, on the other hand, allows viewing fractals in realtime. Do note, however, that this frontend is currently unimplemented.</p>
				<br>
				<x-image alt="An render of an inverse Julia Set of the Mandelbrot. It appears on a grey gradiant background with a warm-coloured pattern resembling smaller minibrots." data-file="benoit_screenshot2"></x-image>

			<section>
				<p>Documentation for the main library can be found on <a href="https://docs.rs/benoit/latest/benoit/"><code>docs.rs</code></a>.</p>
