I've completed the documentation update. Here's a summary of what I did:

Summary

I added a new "About REXPaint" section to the pyrexpaint README that provides users with helpful context about the REXPaint ASCII art editor.

What was added:

About REXPaint - A concise overview including:

  • Description: REXPaint as a free ASCII art editor from Grid Sage Games, commonly used for roguelike mockups, game UI layouts, and ANSI art
  • Features - Key capabilities like multi-layer support, separate character/foreground/background editing, true-color picker, custom fonts and tilesets, and export formats (PNG, ANS, TXT, CSV, XML, .xp)
  • Platform - Windows-only, with Wine support for Linux and macOS

Placement

The new section was added between the existing "Details" and "Installation" sections, providing helpful background context before users dive into installation and usage.

Style

I kept the content concise and minimal to match the existing README's casual, lightweight tone.
