| | Creating cmdlet help I've started developing cmdlets and the associated help file. The cmdlet help file is in a specific XML format. Manually creating these XML help files is one of the most mind-numbing tasks I've ever done. Does anyone know of a faster or easier way to do this? The cmdlet can have parameter information and help text. Is there a way to pull that information from the cmdlet to help build the help file? I'm especially curious how the MS PowerShell team generated their help file. I can't believe someone sat down and manually typed up the XML. -- Jeffery Hicks SAPIEN Technologies - Scripting, Simplified. www.SAPIEN.com VBScript & Windows PowerShell Training - www.ScriptingTraining.com/classes.asp Windows PowerShell? - www.SAPIENPress.com/powershell.asp blog: http://blog.SAPIEN.com blog: http://jdhitsolutions.blogspot.com |
