How to add notes to a cmdlet help topic

[!INCLUDE use-platyps]

This section describes how to add a NOTES section to a PowerShell cmdlet Help topic. The NOTES section is used to explain details that don't fit easily into the other structured sections, such as a more detailed explanation of a parameter. This content could include comments on how the cmdlet works with a specific provider, some unique, yet important, uses of the cmdlet, or ways to avoid possible error conditions.

The NOTES section is defined using a single <maml:alertset> node. There are no limits to the number of notes that you can add to a Notes section. For each note, add a pair of <maml:alert> tags to the <maml:alertset> node. The content of each note is added within a set of <maml:para> tags. Use blank <maml:para> tags for spacing.

<maml:alertSet>
  <maml:title>Optional title for Note</maml:title>
  <maml:alert>
    <maml:para>Note 1</maml:para>
    <maml:para>Note a</maml:para>
  </maml:alert>
  <maml:alert>
    <maml:para>Note 2</maml:para>
  </maml:alert>
</maml:alertSet>
