The Main method:

static void Main()
{
    // Create a MigraDocCore document
    Document document = Documents.CreateDocument();
    
    //string ddl = MigraDocCore.DocumentObjectModel.IO.DdlWriter.WriteToString(document);
    MigraDocCore.DocumentObjectModel.IO.DdlWriter.WriteToFile(document, "MigraDocCore.mdddl");

    renderer.RenderDocument();
    
    // Save the document...
    string filename = "HelloMigraDoc.pdf";
    renderer.PdfDocument.Save(filename);
}

CreateDocument is the method that creates the content:
