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.
An updatable cabinet (.CAB) file must have a name with the following format.
<ModuleName>_<ModuleGUID>_<UICulture>_HelpContent.cab
The elements of the name are as follows.
<ModuleName>-The value of the Name property of the ModuleInfo object that the Get-Module cmdlet returns.<ModuleGUID>- The value of the GUID key in the module manifest.<UICulture>- The UI culture of the help files in the CAB file. This value must match the value of one of the UICulture elements in the HelpInfo XML file for the module.
For example, if the module name is "TestModule," the module GUID is
9cabb9ad-f2ac-4914-a46b-bfc1bebf07f9, and the UI culture is en-US, the name of the CAB file would
be:
TestModule_9cabb9ad-f2ac-4914-a46b-bfc1bebf07f9_en-US_HelpContent.cab
