Step 1: Review Your Packages

Step 2: Choose Your Integration Method

Step 3: Copy Your Script or Download Config

Option 1: Copy Script

Option 2: Download Config

Step 4: Setup Your Environment

1. Ensure you are set for organizational deployment

Please see the organizational deployment guide

2. Get the package into your environment

Option 1: Cached Package (Unreliable, Requires Internet - Same As Community)

Open Source or Commercial:
- Proxy Repository - Create a proxy nuget repository on Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or a proxy Chocolatey repository on ProGet. Point your upstream to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/. Packages cache on first access automatically. Make sure your choco clients are using your proxy repository as a source and NOT the default community repository. See source command for more information.
- You can also just download the packages and push them to a repository
  Download Packages

Option 2: Internalized Package (Reliable, Scalable)

Open Source
- Download the packages:
  Download Packages
- Follow manual internalization instructions
Package Internalizer (C4B)
- Run: (additional options)
- For package and dependencies run:
- Automate package internalization

Step 5: Copy Your Script

See options you can pass to upgrade.

See best practices for scripting.

Add this to a PowerShell script or use a Batch script with tools and in places where you are calling directly to Chocolatey. If you are integrating, keep in mind enhanced exit codes.

If you do use a PowerShell script, use the following to ensure bad exit codes are shown as failures:

If Applicable - Chocolatey Configuration/Installation


## 1. REQUIREMENTS ##
### Here are the requirements necessary to ensure this is successful.

### a. Internal/Private Cloud Repository Set Up ###
#### You'll need an internal/private cloud repository you can use. These are
####  generally really quick to set up and there are quite a few options.
####  Chocolatey Software recommends Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or ProGet as they
####  are repository servers and will give you the ability to manage multiple
####  repositories and types from one server installation.

### b. Download Chocolatey Package and Put on Internal Repository ###
#### You need to have downloaded the Chocolatey package as well.
####  Please see https://chocolatey.org/install#organization

### c. Other Requirements ###

#### We initialize a few things that are needed by this script - there are no other requirements.
$ErrorActionPreference = "Stop"

#### Set TLS 1.2 (3072) as that is the minimum required by various up-to-date repositories.
#### Use integers because the enumeration value for TLS 1.2 won't exist
#### in .NET 4.0, even though they are addressable if .NET 4.5+ is
#### installed (.NET 4.5 is an in-place upgrade).
[System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072

#### We use this variable for future REST calls.
$RequestArguments = @{
    UseBasicParsing = $true
}

## 2. TOP LEVEL VARIABLES ##

### a. Your internal repository url (the main one). ###
####  Should be similar to what you see when you browse
#### to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/
$NugetRepositoryUrl = "INTERNAL REPO URL"

### b. Internal Repository Credential ###
#### If required, add the repository access credential here
# $NugetRepositoryCredential = [PSCredential]::new(
#     "username",
#     ("password" | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force)
# )
# $RequestArguments.Credential = $NugetRepositoryCredential

### c. Chocolatey nupkg download url ###
#### This url should result in an immediate download when you navigate to it
$ChocolateyDownloadUrl = "$($NugetRepositoryUrl.TrimEnd('/'))/package/chocolatey.2.4.1.nupkg"

### d. Chocolatey Central Management (CCM) ###
#### If using CCM to manage Chocolatey, add the following:
#### i. Endpoint URL for CCM
# $ChocolateyCentralManagementUrl = "https://chocolatey-central-management:24020/ChocolateyManagementService"

#### ii. If using a Client Salt, add it here
# $ChocolateyCentralManagementClientSalt = "clientsalt"

#### iii. If using a Service Salt, add it here
# $ChocolateyCentralManagementServiceSalt = "servicesalt"

## 3. ENSURE CHOCOLATEY IS INSTALLED ##
### Ensure Chocolatey is installed from your internal repository

#### Download the Nupkg, appending .zip to the filename to handle archive cmdlet limitations
if (-not (Get-Command choco.exe -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)) {
    $TempDirectory = Join-Path $env:Temp "chocolateyInstall"
    if (-not (Test-Path $TempDirectory -PathType Container)) {
        $null = New-Item -Path $TempDirectory -ItemType Directory
    }
    $DownloadedNupkg = Join-Path $TempDirectory "$(Split-Path $ChocolateyDownloadUrl -Leaf).zip"
    Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $ChocolateyDownloadUrl -OutFile $DownloadedNupkg @RequestArguments

    #### Extract the Nupkg, and run the chocolateyInstall script
    if (Get-Command Microsoft.PowerShell.Archive\Expand-Archive -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) {
        Microsoft.PowerShell.Archive\Expand-Archive -Path $DownloadedNupkg -DestinationPath $TempDirectory -Force
    } else {
        # PowerShell versions <4.0 do not have this function available
        try {
            $shellApplication = New-Object -ComObject Shell.Application
            $zipPackage = $shellApplication.NameSpace($DownloadedNupkg)
            $destinationFolder = $shellApplication.NameSpace($TempDirectory)
            $destinationFolder.CopyHere($zipPackage.Items(), 0x10)
        } catch {
            Write-Warning "Unable to unzip package using built-in compression."
            throw $_
        }
    }

    & $(Join-Path $TempDirectory "tools\chocolateyInstall.ps1")
}

if (-not (Get-Command choco.exe -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)) {
    refreshenv
}

## 4. CONFIGURE CHOCOLATEY BASELINE ##
### a. FIPS Feature ###
#### If you need FIPS compliance - make this the first thing you configure
#### before you do any additional configuration or package installations
# choco feature enable -n useFipsCompliantChecksums

### b. Apply Recommended Configuration ###
#### Move cache location so Chocolatey is very deterministic about
#### cleaning up temporary data and the location is secured to admins
choco config set --name cacheLocation --value C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\cache

#### Increase timeout to at least 4 hours
choco config set --name commandExecutionTimeoutSeconds --value 14400

#### Turn off download progress when running choco through integrations
choco feature disable --name showDownloadProgress

### c. Sources ###
#### Remove the default community package repository source
choco source list --limitoutput | ConvertFrom-Csv -Header 'Name', 'Location' -Delimiter '|' | ForEach-Object {
    if ($_.Location -eq 'https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/') {
        choco source remove -n $_.Name
    }
}

#### Add internal default sources
#### You could have multiple sources here, so we will provide an example
#### of one using the remote repo variable here

#### NOTE: This EXAMPLE may require changes
if ($NugetRepositoryCredential) {
    choco source add --name ChocolateyInternal --source $NugetRepositoryUrl --user $NugetRepositoryCredential.UserName --password $NugetRepositoryCredential.GetNetworkCredential().Password --priority 1
} else {
    choco source add --name ChocolateyInternal --source $NugetRepositoryUrl --priority 1
}

### b. Keep Chocolatey Up To Date ###
#### Keep chocolatey up to date based on your internal source
#### You control the upgrades based on when you push an updated version
####  to your internal repository.
#### Note the source here is to the OData feed, similar to what you see
####  when you browse to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/
choco upgrade chocolatey --confirm

## 5. ENSURE CHOCOLATEY FOR BUSINESS ##
### If you don't have Chocolatey for Business (C4B), you'll want to remove from here down.

### a. Ensure The License File Is Installed ###
#### Create a license package using script from https://docs.chocolatey.org/en-us/how-tos/setup-offline-installation#exercise-4-create-a-package-for-the-license
choco install chocolatey-license --source $NugetRepositoryUrl --confirm

### b. Disable The Licensed Source ###
#### The licensed source cannot be removed, so it must be disabled.
#### This must occur after the license has been set by the license package.
if ("chocolatey-license" -in (choco list --localonly --limitoutput | ConvertFrom-Csv -Header "Name" -Delimiter "|").Name) {
    choco source disable --name chocolatey.licensed
} else {
    Write-Warning "Not disabling 'chocolatey.licensed' feed, as Chocolatey-License has not been installed."
}

### c. Ensure Chocolatey Licensed Extension ###
#### You will have downloaded the licensed extension to your internal repository
#### as you have disabled the licensed repository in step 5b.

#### Ensure the chocolatey.extension package (aka Chocolatey Licensed Extension)
if ("chocolatey-license" -in (choco list --localonly --limitoutput | ConvertFrom-Csv -Header "Name" -Delimiter "|").Name) {
    choco install chocolatey.extension --source $NugetRepositoryUrl --confirm
} else {
    Write-Warning "Not installing 'chocolatey.extension', as Chocolatey-License has not been installed."
}

#requires -Modules cChoco
## 1. REQUIREMENTS ##
### Here are the requirements necessary to ensure this is successful.

### a. Internal/Private Cloud Repository Set Up ###
#### You'll need an internal/private cloud repository you can use. These are
####  generally really quick to set up and there are quite a few options.
####  Chocolatey Software recommends Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or ProGet as they
####  are repository servers and will give you the ability to manage multiple
####  repositories and types from one server installation.

### b. Download Chocolatey Package and Put on Internal Repository ###
#### You need to have downloaded the Chocolatey package as well.
####  Please see https://chocolatey.org/install#organization

### c. Other Requirements ###
#### i. Requires chocolatey\cChoco DSC module to be installed on the machine compiling the DSC manifest
#### NOTE: This will need to be installed before running the DSC portion of this script
if (-not (Get-Module cChoco -ListAvailable)) {
    $null = Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -MinimumVersion 2.8.5.201 -Force
    if (($PSGallery = Get-PSRepository -Name PSGallery).InstallationPolicy -ne "Trusted") {
        Set-PSRepository -Name PSGallery -InstallationPolicy Trusted
    }
    Install-Module -Name cChoco
    if ($PSGallery.InstallationPolicy -ne "Trusted") {
        Set-PSRepository -Name PSGallery -InstallationPolicy $PSGallery.InstallationPolicy
    }
}

#### ii. Requires a hosted copy of the install.ps1 script
##### This should be available to download without authentication.
##### The original script can be found here: https://community.chocolatey.org/install.ps1

Configuration ChocolateyConfig {
## 2. TOP LEVEL VARIABLES ##
    param(
### a. Your internal repository url (the main one). ###
####  Should be similar to what you see when you browse
#### to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/
        $NugetRepositoryUrl      = "INTERNAL REPO URL",

### b. Chocolatey nupkg download url ###
#### This url should result in an immediate download when you navigate to it in
#### a web browser
        $ChocolateyNupkgUrl      = "INTERNAL REPO URL/package/chocolatey.2.4.1.nupkg",

### c. Internal Repository Credential ###
#### If required, add the repository access credential here
#        $NugetRepositoryCredential = [PSCredential]::new(

## 3. ENSURE CHOCOLATEY IS INSTALLED ##
### Ensure Chocolatey is installed from your internal repository
        Environment chocoDownloadUrl {
            Name  = "chocolateyDownloadUrl"
            Value = $ChocolateyNupkgUrl
        }

            InstallDir = Join-Path $env:ProgramData "chocolatey"
            ChocoInstallScriptUrl = $ChocolateyInstallPs1Url
        }

## 4. CONFIGURE CHOCOLATEY BASELINE ##
### a. FIPS Feature ###
#### If you need FIPS compliance - make this the first thing you configure
#### before you do any additional configuration or package installations
#        cChocoFeature featureFipsCompliance {
#            FeatureName = "useFipsCompliantChecksums"
#        }

### b. Apply Recommended Configuration ###

#### Move cache location so Chocolatey is very deterministic about
#### cleaning up temporary data and the location is secured to admins
        cChocoConfig cacheLocation {
            DependsOn  = "[cChocoInstaller]installChocolatey"
            ConfigName = "cacheLocation"
            Value      = "C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\cache"
        }

#### Increase timeout to at least 4 hours
        cChocoConfig commandExecutionTimeoutSeconds {
            DependsOn  = "[cChocoInstaller]installChocolatey"
            ConfigName = "commandExecutionTimeoutSeconds"
            Value      = 14400
        }

#### Turn off download progress when running choco through integrations
        cChocoFeature showDownloadProgress {
            DependsOn   = "[cChocoInstaller]installChocolatey"
            FeatureName = "showDownloadProgress"
            Ensure      = "Absent"
        }

### c. Sources ###
#### Remove the default community package repository source
        cChocoSource removeCommunityRepository {
            DependsOn  = "[cChocoInstaller]installChocolatey"
            Name       = "chocolatey"
            Ensure     = "Absent"
        }

#### Add internal default sources
#### You could have multiple sources here, so we will provide an example
#### of one using the remote repo variable here.
#### NOTE: This EXAMPLE may require changes
        cChocoSource addInternalSource {
            DependsOn  = "[cChocoInstaller]installChocolatey"
            Name        = "ChocolateyInternal"

            Credentials = $NugetRepositoryCredential
            Priority    = 1
        }

### b. Keep Chocolatey Up To Date ###
#### Keep chocolatey up to date based on your internal source
#### You control the upgrades based on when you push an updated version
####  to your internal repository.
#### Note the source here is to the OData feed, similar to what you see
####  when you browse to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/
        cChocoPackageInstaller updateChocolatey {
            DependsOn   = "[cChocoSource]addInternalSource", "[cChocoSource]removeCommunityRepository"

        cChocoPackageInstaller chocolateyLicense {
            DependsOn = "[cChocoPackageInstaller]updateChocolatey"
            Name      = "chocolatey-license"
        }

### b. Disable The Licensed Source ###
#### The licensed source cannot be removed, so it must be disabled.
#### This must occur after the license has been set by the license package.
        Script disableLicensedSource {
            DependsOn  = "[cChocoPackageInstaller]chocolateyLicense"

Description

PlatyPS provides a way to:

Write PowerShell External Help in Markdown
Generate markdown help (example) for your existing modules
Keep markdown help up-to-date with your code

Markdown help docs can be generated from old external help files (also known as MAML-xml help), the command objects (reflection), or both.

PlatyPS can also generate cab files for Update-Help.

Why?

Traditionally PowerShell external help files have been authored by hand or using complex tool chains and rendered 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. PlatyPS is provided as a solution for allow documenting PowerShell help in any editor or tool that supports Markdown.

An additional challenge PlatyPS tackles, is to handle PowerShell documentation for complex scenarios (e.g. very large, closed source, and/or C#/binary modules) where it may be desirable to have documentation abstracted away from the codebase. PlatyPS does not need source access to generate documentation.

Markdown is designed to be human-readable, without rendering. This makes writing and editing easy and efficient. Many editors support it (Visual Studio Code, Sublime Text, etc), and many tools and collaboration platforms (GitHub, Visual Studio Online) render the Markdown nicely.

NOTE: This is an automatically updated package. If you find it is out of date by more than a week, please contact the maintainer(s) and let them know the package is no longer updating correctly.

## SYNTAX

### FromPath (Default)
```
Get-MarkdownMetadata -Path <String[]> [<CommonParameters>]
```

### FromMarkdownString
```
Get-MarkdownMetadata -Markdown <String> [<CommonParameters>]
```

## DESCRIPTION
The **Get-MarkdownMetadata** cmdlet gets the metadata from the header of a markdown file that is supported by PlatyPS.
The command returns the metadata as a hash table.

PlatyPS stores metadata in the header block of a markdown file as key-value pairs of strings.
By default, PlatyPS stores help file name and markdown schema version.

Metadata section can contain user-provided values for use with external tools.
The [New-ExternalHelp](New-ExternalHelp.md) cmdlet ignores this metadata.

## EXAMPLES

### Example 1: Get metadata from a file
```
PS C:\> Get-MarkdownMetadata -Path ".\docs\Get-MarkdownMetadata.md"

Key                Value

# Merge-MarkdownHelp

## SYNOPSIS
Merge multiple markdown versions of the same cmdlet into a single markdown file.

## SYNTAX

```
Merge-MarkdownHelp [-Path] <String[]> [-OutputPath] <String> [-Encoding <Encoding>] [-ExplicitApplicableIfAll]
 [-Force] [[-MergeMarker] <String>] [<CommonParameters>]
```

## DESCRIPTION
Similar modules, or different versions of the same module, often contain duplicate content.

Merge-MarkdownHelp merges the multiple markdown files into a single markdown file.
It uses the `applicable:` yaml metadata field to identify what versions or tags are applicable.
It acts on two levels: for the whole cmdlet and for individual parameters.

The resulting markdown contains the `applicable:` tags as well as all of the content of the original markdown files.
Duplicate content is simply ignored.
Content that is unique to each file is merged using **merge markers**, followed by a comma-separated list of applicable tags.
A **merge marker** is a string of text that acts as a marker to describe the content that was merged.
The default **merge marker** text consists of three exclamation points !!! however this can be changed to any relevant text using the **-MergeMarker** flag.

## EXAMPLES

### Example 1
The Test-CsPhoneBootstrap.md cmdlet is included in both Lync Server 2010 and Lync Server 2013.
Much of the content is duplicated and thus we want to have a single file for the cmdlet with unique content merged from each individual file.

```
PS C:\> Merge-MarkdownHelp -Path @('Lync Server 2010\Test-CsPhoneBootstrap.md', 'Lync Server 2013\Test-CsPhoneBootstrap.md') -OutputPath lync
```

The resulting file will be located at lync\Test-CsPhoneBootstrap.md

## PARAMETERS

### -Encoding
Specifies the character encoding for your external help file.
Specify a **System.Text.Encoding** object.
For more information, see [Character Encoding in the .NET Framework](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms404377.aspx) in the Microsoft Developer Network.
For example, you can control Byte Order Mark (BOM) preferences.

# New-ExternalHelp

## SYNOPSIS
Creates external help file based on markdown supported by PlatyPS.

## SYNTAX

```
New-ExternalHelp -Path <String[]> -OutputPath <String> [-ApplicableTag <String[]>] [-Encoding <Encoding>]
 [-MaxAboutWidth <Int32>] [-ErrorLogFile <String>] [-Force] [-ShowProgress] [<CommonParameters>]
```

## DESCRIPTION
The **New-ExternalHelp** cmdlet creates an external help file based on markdown help files supported by PlatyPS.
You can ship this with a module to provide help by using the **Get-Help** cmdlet.

If the markdown files that you specify do not follow the PlatyPS [Schema](https://github.com/PowerShell/platyPS/blob/master/platyPS.schema.md), this cmdlet returns error messages.

## EXAMPLES

### Example 1: Create external help based on the contents of a folder
```
PS C:\> New-ExternalHelp -Path ".\docs" -OutputPath "out\platyPS\en-US"

    Directory: D:\Working\PlatyPS\out\platyPS\en-US


Mode                LastWriteTime         Length Name
----                -------------         ------ ----
-a----        5/19/2016  12:32 PM          46776 platyPS-help.xml
```

This command creates an external help file in the specified location.
This command uses the best practice that the folder name includes the locale.

### Example 2: Create help that uses custom encoding
```
PS C:\> New-ExternalHelp -Path ".\docs" -OutputPath "out\PlatyPS\en-US" -Force -Encoding ([System.Text.Encoding]::Unicode)


    Directory: D:\Working\PlatyPS\out\PlatyPS\en-US


Mode                LastWriteTime         Length Name
----                -------------         ------ ----
-a----        5/22/2016   6:34 PM         132942 platyPS-help.xml
```

This command creates an external help file in the specified location.
This command specifies the *Force* parameter, therefore, it overwrites an existing file.
The command specifies Unicode encoding for the created file.

### Example 3: Write warnings and errors to file
```
PS C:\> New-ExternalHelp -Path ".\docs" -OutputPath "out\platyPS\en-US" -ErrorLogFile ".\WarningsAndErrors.json"

    Directory: D:\Working\PlatyPS\out\platyPS\en-US


Mode                LastWriteTime         Length Name
----                -------------         ------ ----
-a----        5/19/2016  12:32 PM          46776 platyPS-help.xml
```

This command creates an external help file in the specified location.
This command uses the best practice that the folder name includes the locale.
This command writes the warnings and errors to the WarningsAndErrors.json file.

# New-ExternalHelpCab

## SYNOPSIS
Generates a .cab file.

## SYNTAX

```
New-ExternalHelpCab -CabFilesFolder <String> -LandingPagePath <String> -OutputFolder <String>
 [-IncrementHelpVersion] [<CommonParameters>]
```

## DESCRIPTION
The **New-ExternalHelpCab** cmdlet generates a .cab file that contains all the non-recursive content in a folder.
This cmdlet compresses the provided files.

We recommend that you provide as content only about_ topics and the output from the [New-ExternalHelp](New-ExternalHelp.md) cmdlet to this cmdlet.

This cmdlet uses metadata stored in the module markdown file to name your .cab file.
This naming matches the pattern that the Windows PowerShell help system requires for use as updatable help.
This metadata is part of the module file created by using the [New-MarkdownHelp](New-MarkdownHelp.md) cmdlet with the *WithModulePage* parameter.

This cmdlet also generates or updates an existing helpinfo.xml file.
That file provides versioning and locale details to the Windows PowerShell help system.

## EXAMPLES

### Example 1: Create a CAB file
```
PS C:\> New-ExternalHelpCab -CabFilesFolder 'C:\Module\ExternalHelpContent' -LandingPagePath 'C:\Module\ModuleName.md' -OutputPath 'C:\Module\Cab\'
```

This commmand creates a .cab file that contains the content folder files.
The .cab file is named for updatable help based on metadata.
The command places the .cab file in the output folder.

## PARAMETERS

### -CabFilesFolder

# New-MarkdownHelp

## SYNOPSIS
Creates help in markdown format.

## SYNTAX

### FromModule
```
New-MarkdownHelp -Module <String[]> [-Session <PSSession>] [-Force] [-AlphabeticParamsOrder]
 [-Metadata <Hashtable>] -OutputFolder <String> [-NoMetadata] [-UseFullTypeName] [-Encoding <Encoding>]
 [-WithModulePage] [-ModulePagePath <String>] [-Locale <String>] [-HelpVersion <String>] [-FwLink <String>]
 [-ExcludeDontShow] [<CommonParameters>]
```

### FromCommand
```
New-MarkdownHelp -Command <String[]> [-Session <PSSession>] [-Force] [-AlphabeticParamsOrder]
 [-Metadata <Hashtable>] [-OnlineVersionUrl <String>] -OutputFolder <String> [-NoMetadata] [-UseFullTypeName]
 [-Encoding <Encoding>] [-ExcludeDontShow] [<CommonParameters>]
```

### FromMaml
```
New-MarkdownHelp -MamlFile <String[]> [-ConvertNotesToList] [-ConvertDoubleDashLists] [-Force]
 [-AlphabeticParamsOrder] [-Metadata <Hashtable>] -OutputFolder <String> [-NoMetadata] [-UseFullTypeName]
 [-Encoding <Encoding>] [-WithModulePage] [-ModulePagePath <String>] [-Locale <String>] [-HelpVersion <String>]
 [-FwLink <String>] [-ModuleName <String>] [-ModuleGuid <String>] [-ExcludeDontShow] [<CommonParameters>]
```

## DESCRIPTION
The **New-MarkdownHelp** cmdlet creates help in markdown format based on a module, a command, or a file in Microsoft Assistance Markup Language (MAML) format.

## EXAMPLES

### Example 1: Create help from a command
```
PS C:\> function Command03 {param([string]$Value)}
PS C:\> New-MarkdownHelp -Command "Command03" -OutputFolder ".\docs"


    Directory: D:\Working\docs


Mode                LastWriteTime         Length Name
----                -------------         ------ ----
-a----        5/22/2016   6:53 PM            664 Command03.md
```

The first command creates a function named Command03 by using standard Windows PowerShell syntax.

The second command creates help for that stub function in the .\docs folder.

### Example 2: Create help from a module
```
PS C:\> Import-Module -Module "PlatyPS"
PS C:\> New-MarkdownHelp -Module "PlatyPS" -OutputFolder ".\docs" -Force


    Directory: D:\Working\PlatyPS\docs


Mode                LastWriteTime         Length Name
----                -------------         ------ ----
-a----        5/22/2016   6:54 PM           1496 Get-HelpPreview.md
-a----        5/22/2016   6:54 PM           3208 Get-MarkdownMetadata.md
-a----        5/22/2016   6:54 PM           3059 New-ExternalHelp.md
-a----        5/22/2016   6:54 PM           2702 New-ExternalHelpCab.md
-a----        5/22/2016   6:54 PM           6234 New-MarkdownHelp.md
-a----        5/22/2016   6:54 PM           2346 Update-MarkdownHelp.md
-a----        5/22/2016   6:54 PM           1633 Update-MarkdownHelpModule.md
-a----        5/22/2016   6:54 PM           1630 Update-MarkdownHelpSchema.md
```

The first command loads the PlatyPS module into the current session by using the **Import-Module** cmdlet.

The second command creates help for all the cmdlets in the PlatyPS module.
It stores them in the .\docs folder.
This command specifies the *Force* parameter.
Therefore, it overwrites existing help markdown files that have the same name.

### Example 3: Create help from an existing MAML file
```
PS C:\> New-MarkdownHelp -OutputFolder "D:\PSReadline\docs" -MamlFile 'C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\PSReadline\1.1\en-US\Microsoft.PowerShell.PSReadline.dll-help.xml'

    Directory: D:\PSReadline\docs


Mode                LastWriteTime         Length Name
----                -------------         ------ ----
-a----        5/22/2016   6:56 PM           7443 Get-PSReadlineKeyHandler.md
-a----        5/22/2016   6:56 PM           3586 Get-PSReadlineOption.md
-a----        5/22/2016   6:56 PM           1549 Remove-PSReadlineKeyHandler.md
-a----        5/22/2016   6:56 PM           5947 Set-PSReadlineKeyHandler.md
-a----        5/22/2016   6:56 PM          15320 Set-PSReadlineOption.md
```

This command creates help in markdown format for the specified help MAML file.
You do not have to load the module, as in the previous example.
If the module is already loaded, this command creates help based on the MAML file, not on the currently installed module.

### Example 4: Create help from an existing MAML file for use in a CAB file
```
PS C:\> New-MarkdownHelp -OutputFolder "D:\PSReadline\docs" -MamlFile 'C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\PSReadline\1.1\en-US\Microsoft.PowerShell.PSReadline.dll-help.xml' -WithModulePage  -Force -ModuleName "PSReadLine"


    Directory: D:\PSReadline\docs


Mode                LastWriteTime         Length Name
----                -------------         ------ ----
-a----        5/22/2016   6:59 PM           7443 Get-PSReadlineKeyHandler.md
-a----        5/22/2016   6:59 PM           3586 Get-PSReadlineOption.md
-a----        5/22/2016   6:59 PM           1549 Remove-PSReadlineKeyHandler.md
-a----        5/22/2016   6:59 PM           5947 Set-PSReadlineKeyHandler.md
-a----        5/22/2016   6:59 PM          15320 Set-PSReadlineOption.md
-a----        5/22/2016   6:59 PM            942 PSReadLine.md
```

This command creates help in markdown format for the specified help MAML file, as in the previous example.
This command also specifies the *WithModulePage* parameter and the *ModuleName* parameter.
The command creates a file named PSReadLine.md that contains links to the other markdown files in this module and metadata that can be used to create .cab files.

# New-YamlHelp

## SYNOPSIS
Converts Markdown help into YAML to be read easily by external tools

## SYNTAX

```
New-YamlHelp [-Path] <String[]> -OutputFolder <String> [-Encoding <Encoding>] [-Force] [<CommonParameters>]
```

## DESCRIPTION
The **New-YamlHelp** cmdlet works similarly to the **New-ExternalHelp** cmdlet but rather than creating a MAML file to support **Get-Help**, it creates a set of YAML files that can be read by external tools to provide custom rendering of help pages.

## EXAMPLES

### Example 1: Create YAML files
```
PS C:\> New-YamlHelp -Path .\docs -OutputFolder .\out\yaml

    Directory: D:\Working\PlatyPS\out\yaml

-a----        6/15/2017  11:13 AM           3350 Update-MarkdownHelpSchema.yml
```

This creates one YAML file for each cmdlet so external tools can read the structured data for each cmdlet.

### Example 2: Create YAML files with specific encoding
```
PS C:\> New-YamlHelp -Path .\docs -OutputFolder .\out\yaml -Force -Encoding ([System.Text.Encoding]::Unicode)

    Directory: D:\Working\PlatyPS\out\yaml


Mode                LastWriteTime         Length Name
----                -------------         ------ ----
-a----        6/15/2017  11:13 AM           2337 Get-HelpPreview.yml
-a----        6/15/2017  11:13 AM           3502 Get-MarkdownMetadata.yml
-a----        6/15/2017  11:13 AM           4143 New-ExternalHelp.yml
-a----        6/15/2017  11:13 AM           3082 New-ExternalHelpCab.yml
-a----        6/15/2017  11:13 AM           2581 New-MarkdownAboutHelp.yml
-a----        6/15/2017  11:13 AM          12356 New-MarkdownHelp.yml
-a----        6/15/2017  11:13 AM           1681 New-YamlHelp.yml
-a----        6/15/2017  11:13 AM           5053 Update-MarkdownHelp.yml
-a----        6/15/2017  11:13 AM           4661 Update-MarkdownHelpModule.yml
-a----        6/15/2017  11:13 AM           3350 Update-MarkdownHelpSchema.yml
```

This will both read and write the files in the specified -Encoding.
The -Force parameter will overwrite files that already exist.

# Update-MarkdownHelp

## SYNOPSIS
Update PlatyPS markdown help files.

## SYNTAX

```
Update-MarkdownHelp [-Path] <String[]> [[-Encoding] <Encoding>] [[-LogPath] <String>] [-LogAppend]

 [-ExcludeDontShow] [<CommonParameters>]
```

## DESCRIPTION
The **Update-MarkdownHelp** cmdlet updates PlatyPS markdown help files without completely replacing the content of the files.

Some parameter attributes change over time.
For instance, parameter sets, types, default value, and required.
This cmdlet updates markdown help to reflect those changes.
It also adds placeholder text to the markdown file for any new parameter.

To propagate changes to your markdown help files, do the following:

- Load the new version of the module into your Windows PowerShell session.
- Run the **Update-MarkdownHelp** cmdlet to update the files.
- Check new parameters metadata in the markdown files.

## EXAMPLES

### Example 1: Update all files in a folder
```
PS C:\> Update-MarkdownHelp -Path ".\docs"

    Directory: D:\working\PlatyPS\docs

      <maml:para>Merge-MarkdownHelp merges the multiple markdown files into a single markdown file. It uses the `applicable:` yaml metadata field to identify what versions or tags are applicable. It acts on two levels: for the whole cmdlet and for individual parameters.</maml:para>
      <maml:para>The resulting markdown contains the `applicable:` tags as well as all of the content of the original markdown files. Duplicate content is simply ignored. Content that is unique to each file is merged using merge markers , followed by a comma-separated list of applicable tags. A merge marker is a string of text that acts as a marker to describe the content that was merged. The default merge marker text consists of three exclamation points !!! however this can be changed to any relevant text using the -MergeMarker flag.</maml:para>

      <maml:para>The New-ExternalHelpCab cmdlet generates a .cab file that contains all the non-recursive content in a folder. This cmdlet compresses the provided files.</maml:para>
      <maml:para>We recommend that you provide as content only about_ topics and the output from the New-ExternalHelp (New-ExternalHelp.md)cmdlet to this cmdlet.</maml:para>
      <maml:para>This cmdlet uses metadata stored in the module markdown file to name your .cab file. This naming matches the pattern that the Windows PowerShell help system requires for use as updatable help. This metadata is part of the module file created by using the New-MarkdownHelp (New-MarkdownHelp.md)cmdlet with the WithModulePage parameter.</maml:para>
      <maml:para>This cmdlet also generates or updates an existing helpinfo.xml file. That file provides versioning and locale details to the Windows PowerShell help system.</maml:para>

## DEVELOPERS NOTES & CONVENTIONS
##
##  1. Non-exported functions (subroutines) should avoid using
##     PowerShell standard Verb-Noun naming convention.
##     They should use camalCase or PascalCase instead.
##  2. SMALL subroutines, used only from ONE function
##     should be placed inside the parent function body.
##     They should use camalCase for the name.
##  3. LARGE subroutines and subroutines used from MORE THEN ONE function
##     should be placed after the IMPLEMENTATION text block in the middle
##     of this module.
##     They should use PascalCase for the name.
##  4. Add comment "# yeild" on subroutine calls that write values to pipeline.
##     It would help keep code maintainable and simplify ramp up for others.

# Schema

PlatyPS requires you to keep the content in a specific structure and Markdown notation. Any authoring must not break this formatting or the MAML will not be generated correctly.
It closely resembles output of `Get-Help`.

## Legend

*   `{string}` - single-line string value
*   `{{text}}` - multi-line text
*   `//` - line comment in schema
*   tabs show the scopes of `// for` statements; they should not be included in the Markdown output.

### Version 2.0.0
    
    // Every cmdlet help placed in it's own `Command-Name.md` file in one folder.
    // We sometimes reference to this folder as "HelpModule".

    // Top-level metadata. You can put your own "key: value" statements there
    // unknown values would be ignored by platyPS
    // You can query this data from markdown file with `Get-MarkdownMetadata`
    //
    // Keys that have meaning for platyPS have separate entries
    ---
    schema: 2.0.0
    external help file: {file name for `New-ExternalHelp`}.xml
    online version: {url for `Get-Help -Online`}
    applicable: {comma-separated list of tags where this cmdlet exists} // if omitted then applicable for any tag
    {{ User-specific key-value pairs }}
    ---

    # {Command name}

    // following level-2 headers sections can go in any order
    // here is the recommended order

VERIFICATION
Verification is intended to assist the Chocolatey moderators and community in verifying that this package's contents are trustworthy.

To verify the files using the project source:

1. Please go to the project source location (https://github.com/PowerShell/Platyps) and download the source files;
2. Build the source to create the binary files to verify;
3. Use Get-FileHash -Path <FILE TO VERIFY> to get the file hash value from both the built file (from step 1 above) and the file from the package and compare them;

Alternatively you can download the module from the PowerShell Gallery ...

    Save-Module -Name Platyps -Path <PATH TO DOWNLOAD TO>

... and compare the files from the package against those in the installed module. Again use Get-FileHash -Path <FILE TO VERIFY> to retrieve those hash values.
