PowerShell external help files have been authored by hand or using complex tool chains and stored as
MAML XML for use as console help. MAML is cumbersome to edit by hand, and common tools and editors don't support it for complex scenarios like they do with markdown. Markdown is adopted widely by Open Source, supported by many editors including Visual Studio Code, and with minimal rules, easier to author. PlatyPS is provided as a solution to allow documenting PowerShell help in any editor or tool that supports markdown.

You want to 1) launch PowerShell.exe using the KeePass password manager by double-clicking an entry
in KeePass, perhaps to run a script, 2) inject a password stored in KeePass into that PowerShell.exe process as a variable, such as for a secure string or a PSCredential object, but 3) you cannot expose the password as a command-line argument or other plaintext channel when launching PowerShell.exe because it could be logged or captured. This article will show you how to do it.

When I'm working on a Pluralsight course, I tend to setup a virtual machine for recording. Although,
lately I've been trying with Windows 10 Sandbox. This is handy when all I need is a Windows 10 desktop. When I setup the system, I have particular settings I need to configure. Naturally I use a PowerShell script to automate the process. One item that I wanted to address was Windows 10 taskbar. When I'm recording a course, I like to have it auto-hide. Sure, I could manually set it. But that's no fun.
