When I decided to start this blog, I thought it would be nice to be able to display PowerShell code examples with nice formatting and syntax highlighting. I tried a few freely available tools out there that advertised PowerShell syntax support, but they all seemed to fall short in a category or two. None of them correctly handled multiple line strings or here-strings, and none of them correctly highlighted PowerShell variables enclosed in curly braces e.g. "${this is a variable}".

I personally think the help that comes with Windows PowerShell is very good. I love having access to everything right from the command line. Accessing the help from the command line just falls short in convenience if you would like to switch quickly between more than one topic, or if the help topic you are reading is particularly long.

I have written a collection of functions for making life at the Subversion command line a little easier.

My very own PowerShell blog.
