As we continue, do keep in mind that Invoke-RestMethod can do much more than what we've seen so far,
and what we'll cover. It can do POST requests, handle pagination, handle multipart/form-data, and it can pass in multiple headers if required. Don't forget about authentication and credentials; it can handle those, as well.

Using PowerShell Markdown Cmdlets

The vast majority of the technical documentation written today is written in Markdown. From Jane's
dev blog to Microsoft's PowerShell documentation, markdown is behind it. Markdown is a light weight markup language with plain-text-formatting syntax. Markup languages were designed to be easy to write using a generic text editor and easy to read in its raw from without rendering. Markdown's success is largely in part because it does this very well. It is easy to read without being rendered. It also does not require a bunch of opening and closing tags. Which are difficult to read and time consuming to type. Markdown has an extensive list of features that allow you to; style font, define headings, create tables, create hyperlinks, define code snippets, and much more. Recently, a few new Markdown cmdlets were introduced to PowerShell. These cmdlets allow you to work with Markdown from the terminal. They allow you to render the markdown as HTML or to view it within a terminal window using AsVT100 Encoding. In this blog post, you'll learn how to use these cmdlets to render and output Markdown using PowerShell.
