What's new in PlatyPS
summary
Shows a concrete rewrite: rewritten in C# using markdig and YAML.NET, not marketing fluff. Claims include processes 1000s of Markdown files in seconds, a pipelinable API that creates an object model of the help file, and converters to new Markdown, YAML, and MAML. Demos include comparing comment-based help to markdown, updating parameter metadata, and exporting MAML (still buggy for updatable-help CABs). Watch if those specific tools, numbers, and conversion results matter tonight.
