By: Jason Helmick submitted:Jun 16 2022
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.

Tab completion has accelerated the success of new and experienced PowerShell users for over a
decade. New users get the benefit of discovery, seeing available cmdlets and parameters as options while interactively typing. Experienced users receive the benefit of acceleration, typing less while using the Tab key to quickly complete a command.
