Among the various sessions, Jeffrey Hicks presented on conditional HTML formatting with PowerShell. The native mdlet does a nice job converting objects to HTML tables, but has no support for applying custom styles to individual table elements. Jeff called out the clever idea of using ConvertTo-HTML to generate XHTML, then using PoSH to manipulate that as XML. Jeff’s technique uses the standard PoSH object model to apply CSS styles to rows.
