PowerShell MAML Help Generator

Does anyone know of a utility for generating PowerShell cmdlet help files? Doing it by hand seems a bit tedious...

I located: http://blogs.msdn.com/powershell/archive/2007/09/01/new-and-improved-cmdlet-help-editor-tool.aspx

Any updated versions? I can't select a module. I have a binary module.

Solution

  • I've created a Powershell script that will generate MAML for cmdlets and functions regardless of whether they part of modules. It's not perfect as the generated MAML will require some manual editing, but so does the cmdlet help editor you referenced. I have a blog post about it here

    If you use it and find corrections feel free to update the script on PoshCode.
