Cmdlet Help Editor tool

Intoducing the Cmdlet Help Editor V1.0

 

Cmdlet Help Editor enables you to create help topics for Windows PowerShell cmdlets in the XML format that Windows PowerShell reads. Help text created in Cmdlet Help Editor can be displayed immediately by a Windows PowerShell get-help command without any additional transforms or formatting.

 

By reflecting on a Windows PowerShell snap-in (PsSnapin) assembly, Cmdlet Help Editor creates a customized documentation interface that includes the cmdlets in the snap-ins, their parameters, and parameter attributes.

 

Cmdlet Help Editor was designed for Windows PowerShell cmdlet developers to make it easy to create excellent cmdlet help. This tool is made available free of charge, but it is not warranted or supported by Microsoft.
