Long has it been known how to easily document your PowerShell source code simply by embedding properly formatted documentation comments right along side your code, making maintenance relatively painless…

But if you advanced to writing your PowerShell cmdlets in C#, you have largely been on your own, either hand-crafting MAML files or using targeted MAML editors far removed from your source code. But not anymore. With the advent of Chris Lambrou’s open-source XmlDoc2CmdletDoc, the world has been righted upon its axis once more: it allows instrumenting your C# source with doc-comments just like any other C# source:

All of the above provides fuel for Get-Help, i.e. providing help one cmdlet at a time. But we are a civilized people; we also need a web-based version of our full custom PowerShell API. That is, a hierarchical and indexed set of Get-Help pages for all the cmdlets in our module. For this task, my own open-source effort, DocTreeGenerator, nicely fills the gap, requiring very little beyond the doc-comments described above to do the complete job.
I have written extensively on using both XmlDoc2CmdletDoc and DocTreeGenerator, and just this week, released a one-page wallchart that shows how all the pieces work together:
