+<#
+.SYNOPSIS
+	Build articulate-parser for multiple platforms
+
+.DESCRIPTION
+	This script builds the articulate-parser application for multiple operating systems and architectures.
+	It can build using either native Go (preferred) or WSL if Go is not available on Windows.
+
+.PARAMETER Jobs
+	Number of parallel build jobs to run (default: 4)
+
+.PARAMETER Platforms
+	Comma-separated list of platforms to build for (e.g., "windows,linux")
+	Available: windows, linux, darwin, freebsd
+
+.PARAMETER Architectures
+	Comma-separated list of architectures to build for (e.g., "amd64,arm64")
+	Available: amd64, arm64
+
+.PARAMETER BuildDir
+	Directory to place built binaries (default: 'build')
+
+.PARAMETER EntryPoint
+	Entry point Go file (default: 'main.go')
+	Note: This script assumes the entry point is in the project root.
+
+.PARAMETER UseWSL
+	Force use of WSL even if Go is available on Windows
+
+.PARAMETER Clean
+	Clean build directory before building
+
+.PARAMETER VerboseOutput
+	Enable verbose output
+
+.PARAMETER LdFlags
+	Linker flags to pass to go build (default: "-s -w" for smaller binaries)
+	Use empty string ("") to disable default ldflags
+
+.PARAMETER SkipTests
+	Skip running tests before building
+
+.PARAMETER Version
+	Version string to embed in binaries (auto-detected from git if not provided)
+
+.PARAMETER ShowTargets
+	Show available build targets and exit
+
+.EXAMPLE
+	.\build.ps1
+	Build for all platforms and architectures
+
+.EXAMPLE
+	.\build.ps1 -Platforms "windows,linux" -Architectures "amd64"
+	Build only for Windows and Linux on amd64
+
+.EXAMPLE
+	.\build.ps1 -Jobs 8 -VerboseOutput
+	Build with 8 parallel jobs and verbose output
+
+.EXAMPLE
+	.\build.ps1 -Version "v1.2.3" -SkipTests
+	Build with specific version and skip tests
+
+.EXAMPLE
+	.\build.ps1 -LdFlags "-X main.version=1.0.0"
+	Build with custom ldflags (overrides default -s -w)
+
+.EXAMPLE
+	.\build.ps1 -LdFlags ""
+	Build without any ldflags (disable defaults)
+
+.EXAMPLE
+	.\build.ps1 -ShowTargets
+	Show all available build targets
+
+.FUNCTIONALITY
+	Build automation, Cross-platform compilation, Go builds, Multi-architecture, Parallel builds, Windows, Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, Release management, Go applications
+
+.NOTES
+	This script requires Go to be installed and available in the PATH.
+	It also requires git if auto-detecting version from tags.
+	If Go is not available on Windows, it will use WSL to perform the build.
+
+	Ensure you have the necessary permissions to create directories and files in the specified BuildDir.
+
+	For WSL builds, ensure you have a compatible Linux distribution installed and configured.
+
+.OUTPUTS
+	Outputs built binaries to the specified BuildDir.
+	Displays build summary including successful and failed builds.

+articulate-parser Build Script (Bash)
+=====================================
+
+SYNOPSIS:
+    build.sh [OPTIONS] [GO_BUILD_FLAGS...]
+
+DESCRIPTION:
+    Cross-platform build script for articulate-parser. Builds binaries for multiple
+    OS/architecture combinations in parallel with embedded version information.
+
+OPTIONS:
+    -h, --help          Show this help message and exit
+    -j <number>         Number of parallel jobs (default: 4)
+    -o <directory>      Output directory for binaries (default: build)
+    -e <file>           Entry point Go file (default: main.go)
+    -v, --verbose       Enable verbose output for debugging
+    --show-targets      Show available Go build targets and exit
+
+EXAMPLES:
+    # Basic build with default settings
+    ./scripts/build.sh
+
+    # Build with 8 parallel jobs
+    ./scripts/build.sh -j 8
+
+    # Build to custom directory
+    ./scripts/build.sh -o my_builds
+
+    # Build with custom entry point
+    ./scripts/build.sh -e test_entry.go
+
+    # Build with verbose output
+    ./scripts/build.sh -v
+
+    # Build with Go build flags and version info
+    ./scripts/build.sh -ldflags "-s -w -X main.version=1.0.0 -X main.buildTime=$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)"
+
+    # Show available targets
+    ./scripts/build.sh --show-targets
+
+    # Build with Go build flags and version info
+    ./scripts/build.sh -ldflags "-s -w -X github.com/kjanat/articulate-parser/internal/version.Version=1.0.0 -X github.com/kjanat/articulate-parser/internal/version.BuildTime=$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)"
+
+    # Build with custom ldflags (overrides default -s -w)
+    ./scripts/build.sh -ldflags "-X github.com/kjanat/articulate-parser/internal/version.Version=1.0.0"
+
+    # Build without any ldflags (disable defaults)
+    ./scripts/build.sh -ldflags ""
+
+DEFAULT TARGETS:
+    Operating Systems: darwin, freebsd, linux, windows
+    Architectures:     amd64, arm64
+    
+    This creates 8 binaries total (4 OS × 2 ARCH)
+
+GO BUILD FLAGS:
+    Any additional arguments are passed directly to 'go build'.
+    Default: -ldflags "-s -w" (strip debug info for smaller binaries)
+    Common flags include:
+        -ldflags    Link flags (e.g., version info, optimization)
+        -tags       Build tags
+        -v          Verbose Go build output
+        -race       Enable race detector
+        -trimpath   Remove file system paths from executable
+
+    To override default ldflags, specify your own -ldflags argument.
+    To disable ldflags entirely, use: -ldflags ""
+
+OUTPUT:
+    Binaries are named: articulate-parser-{OS}-{ARCH}[.exe]
+    Build logs for failed builds: {BINARY_NAME}.log
+
+NOTES:
+    - Requires Go to be installed and in PATH
+    - Removes and recreates the output directory
+    - Failed builds create .log files with error details
+    - Uses colored output with real-time status updates
+    - Entry point validation ensures file exists before building
+    - Supports custom entry points (compiles single file to avoid conflicts)
