PSHTML is a cross platform Powershell module to generate HTML markup language within a DSL on Windows and Linux.
PSHTML
allow people to write a HTML document(s) using powershell-like
syntax, which makes building webpages easier, and less cumbersome for 'native' PowerSheller's.
PSHTML
offers the flexibility of the PowerShell language, and allows to add logic in powershell
directly in the HTML
structure. This open the possibility to add loops, conditional statements, switches, functions, classes, calling external modules etc.. all that directly from the same editor.
PSHTML
comes with template functionality which allows one to include
parts of webpages that are identical throughout the web page Eg: footer, Header,Menu etc..
Using PSHTML, offers code completion and syntax highlighting from the the default powershell language. As PSHTML respects the W3C standards, any HTML errors, will be spotted immediately.
Since version 0.7.0
PSHTML supports the creation of charts.
You can find here , an introduction talk about PSHTML
by Stéphane van Gulick
which teach you in the first step everything you need to know to get started with PSHTML
and show concret implementation examples. In the second part of the talk, Stéphane explains how one can extend PSHTML further by coupling it together with Polaris
creating a full webserver 100% in powershell.

The following example is a tribute to PowerShell GodFather 'Jeffrey Snover' where we generated a BIO of the ShellFather gathering data from Wikipedia and other sources, all that using Powershell.
