# Format-Document

This module contains an HTML-like DSL for dynamically constructing documents using PowerShell.

The same template can be rendered to any one of the following formats which render as similarly as possible.

Formats supported:

- Markdown ([GitHub-flavored](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/writing-on-github/getting-started-with-writing-and-formatting-on-github/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax))

- [Confluence Storage Format](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-storage-format-790796544.html)

- Html (with [Bootstrap](https://getbootstrap.com/) class decorations)

You can use this to automatically maintain and synchronize documentation in multiple formats such as READMEs and Confluence Wiki.

### Examples

Generate a document in Markdown.

Each element accepts either a ScriptBlock or a String.

Use a ScriptBlock if you want more powerful text generation.

Unenclosed text will be passed through as is.

```powershell

New-Document -Type Markdown {

    H1 "My Text"

    H2 { "Heading 2" }

    P { Get-Date }

    P {

        "normal text"

        B "bold text cmdlet"

        "."

        Link "link Text" "https://google.com"

    }

    Table {

        TR {

            TH "Heading 1","Heading 2"

        }

        TR {

            TD -Text "Fun"

            TD -Text "Moar Fun"

        }

        TR {

            TD "Item 1","Item 2"

        }

    }

}

```

---

Using the same template and changing `-Type` parameter to `Confluence` renders the document in [Confluence Storage Format](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-storage-format-790796544.html).

![confluence example](docs/image/confluence.png)

You can use [ConfluencePS](https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/ConfluencePS) to publish the content.

```powershell

$page = Get-ConfluencePage -PageID 123456789

$doc = New-Document -Type Confluence { ... }

$page.Body = $doc

$page | Set-ConfluencePage

```
