Thank you Leo Vildosola! You just made me a very happy blogger :)

I found your plugin for Windows Live Writer and it works great with PowerShell scripts. Inserting well-formatted, color-codedPowerShell code is now as easy as selecting 'Insert Code Snippet', pasting the code and pressing ok. There are only two drawbacks -

1. Is is not copy-friendly, as there are no line breaks. But my current method is not that either
2. The formatting is called MSH and not PowerShell, but I think I can live with that ;)

Some examples

With line numbers and a container

   1: # Set-SMSCacheSize

   2: param([int]$newSizeInMB=2000)

   3:  

   4: $sms=new-object -com UIResource.UIResourceMgr

   5: $ci=$sms.GetCacheInfo()

   6: if ($ci.TotalSize -ne $newSizeInMB) {

   7:     $ci.TotalSize=$newSizeInMB

   8:     "Size set to $newSizeInMB"

   9: }

  10: else {

  11:     "Size $newSizeInMB already correct"

  12: }

Alternating lines, no container, no line numbers -

# Set-SMSCacheSize

param([int]$newSizeInMB=2000)

$sms=new-object -com UIResource.UIResourceMgr

$ci=$sms.GetCacheInfo()

if ($ci.TotalSize -ne $newSizeInMB) {

    $ci.TotalSize=$newSizeInMB

    "Size set to $newSizeInMB"

}

else {

    "Size $newSizeInMB already correct"

}

No line numbers, no container

# Set-SMSCacheSize
param([int]$newSizeInMB=2000)
 
$sms=new-object -com UIResource.UIResourceMgr
$ci=$sms.GetCacheInfo()
if ($ci.TotalSize -ne $newSizeInMB) {
    $ci.TotalSize=$newSizeInMB
    "Size set to $newSizeInMB"
}
else {
    "Size $newSizeInMB already correct"
}

No line numbers, no container, alternating lines

# Set-SMSCacheSize

param([int]$newSizeInMB=2000)

$sms=new-object -com UIResource.UIResourceMgr

$ci=$sms.GetCacheInfo()

if ($ci.TotalSize -ne $newSizeInMB) {

    $ci.TotalSize=$newSizeInMB

    "Size set to $newSizeInMB"

}

else {

    "Size $newSizeInMB already correct"

}

No line numbers, container, alternating lines

# Set-SMSCacheSize

param([int]$newSizeInMB=2000)

$sms=new-object -com UIResource.UIResourceMgr

$ci=$sms.GetCacheInfo()

if ($ci.TotalSize -ne $newSizeInMB) {

    $ci.TotalSize=$newSizeInMB

    "Size set to $newSizeInMB"

}

else {

    "Size $newSizeInMB already correct"

}
