Q: How can I copy Windows PowerShell code into a HTML page and keep the color highlighting of the text?
A: Often I create PowerShell code in the Windows 8 PowerShell Integrated Scripting Environment (ISE), which does a great job of color-coding the text to make it easy to understand the different elements. However, this gets lost as soon as it's pasted into HTML.

Download the PowerShell Pack from Microsoft.
Install the downloaded MSI file.
Launch the PowerShell ISE.
Type the command below to import the PowerShell Pack module:
Import-Module PowerShellPackOn the ISE menu will be Add-ons, which will include a IsePack sub-menu.
Select the code in the Scripting pane, then go to Select Add-ons, IsePack, Edit, Copy-ColoredAsHtml (see screen shot below).
In your HTML editor in the Source view, select Paste, which will have the color-formatted HTML as the example shows below:
