+<div id="about-content">
+  <p>This plugin detects cuboids within meshes and converts them into real Blockbench cubes, including rotated cuboids and meshes made up of multiple merged cubes.</p>
+  <p>UVs are transferred exactly. A detected cuboid is only converted when every face maps cleanly onto a cube face, meaning no distorted UVs and no rotations other than 90 degree steps.</p>
+  <h2 class="markdown">Usage:</h2>
+  <p>Select the meshes you want to convert, or select nothing to convert every mesh in the project.</p>
+  <p>Use <strong>Tools &gt; Convert Mesh to Cubes</strong> to run the conversion.</p>
+  <p>Valid cuboids are extracted into cubes, and any remaining geometry stays behind as a mesh. Meshes that convert completely are removed.</p>
+  <h2 class="markdown">Detection rules:</h2>
+  <p>Complete 6 sided cuboids always convert, even when merged into other geometry.</p>
+  <p>Partial cuboids with missing faces (such as a hidden face deleted where a slope was merged on) convert when at least 4 faces remain. Missing faces become disabled faces on the cube.</p>
+  <p>Isolated geometry that is not attached to anything else converts with any number of faces, so a lone flat plane becomes a zero thickness cube.</p>
