I ran into this problem yesterday when trying to email some Powershell code to a coworker in that all of the code highlighting and indenting was messed up when pasting in to Outlook. Is there a site that will take Powershell (C#, HTML, etc) and provide some nicely formatted/highlighted output that can be cut and paste into an email or application that supports HTML rendering?

Even better if it also supported other formatting tags for forums and the like.

There's a website just for this: To-Html

Ta-da! Here's a site with Powershell!

It has Z80 assembly but no Powershell. – dlux Sep 3 '09 at 20:22
Humbug. I just kind of figured Powershell was in that big list of languages. I'll have to try to find something else. – Dan Walker Sep 3 '09 at 20:27
tohtml is the one site I've found where I could copy/paste the resulting text into a word doc or email and have the coloring (including background) remain intact. I use it a lot when writing up code reviews and need to provide code snippets. – Herms Sep 3 '09 at 20:43
I'll toss you a +1 for finding the Powershell site, but unfortunately it does not display the HTML in a way that can be cut and paste with formatting. To-HTML does, but doesn't support Powershell. – dlux Sep 3 '09 at 21:28
Nevermind...I forgot to turn off "Keep text only" when pasting. :) – dlux Sep 3 '09 at 21:31
