Comprehensive Textual framework reference for building professional Python TUIs:

Area	Coverage
Widgets	40+ built-in: Input, Button, Select, Checkbox, DataTable, Tree, Log, RichLog, Tabs, TabbedContent
Layouts	Vertical, Horizontal, Grid; fixed/fractional sizing; responsive patterns
Styling	TCSS syntax, semantic color system, external stylesheets, borders, padding
