How to add related links to a cmdlet help topic

Note

Manual authoring of XML-based help is very difficult. The PlatyPS module allows you to write help in Markdown and then convert it to XML-based help. This makes it much easier to write and maintain help. PlatyPS can also create the Updateable Help packages for you. For more information, see Create XML-based help using PlatyPS.

This section describes how to add references to other content that's related to a PowerShell cmdlet Help topic. Because these references appear in a command window, they don't link directly to the referenced content.

In the cmdlet Help topics that are included in PowerShell, these links reference other cmdlets, conceptual content (about_), and other documents and Help files that aren't related to PowerShell.

The following XML shows how to add a RelatedLinks node that contains two references to related topics.

<maml:relatedLinks>
  <maml:navigationLink>
    <maml:linkText>Topic-name</maml:linkText>
  </maml:navigationLink>
  <maml:navigationLink>
    <maml:linkText>Topic-name</maml:linkText>
  </maml:navigationLink>
</ maml:relatedLinks >
