Welcome to your one-stop guide for getting started with PSWriteHTML, the PowerShell module designed to help you create beautiful HTML reports, pages, and emails—all without needing to know HTML, CSS, or JavaScript!

Understanding PSWriteHTML

Imagine you’re an artist, and the canvas you want to paint on is a web page or an email. Traditionally, you would need brushes and a palette of colors, which in technical terms translate to HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. However, PSWriteHTML equips you with easy-to-use tools similar to a paint-by-numbers kit. With this module, you can fill in the predefined templates to create stunning outputs without needing to worry about the underlying technology.

PSWriteHTML is a rebirth of an older module called ReportHTML. The developer forked it due to its outdated status, addressing various issues and enhancing its features significantly.

Installation Guide

To jump on board with PSWriteHTML, follow these simple steps:

• Open PowerShell in your system.
• Use the following command to install it:

Install-Module -Name PSWriteHTML -AllowClobber -Force

Note: The flags -AllowClobber and -Force are optional but can help skip over errors in certain situations.

Updating the Module

Keeping your tools updated is crucial. To update PSWriteHTML, simply use the following command:

Update-Module -Name PSWriteHTML

After executing this command, if you have the module in use, make sure to restart your PowerShell session for the changes to take effect.
