What it does
Converts .NET objects into HTML that can be displayed in a Web browser. The ConvertTo-Html cmdlet converts .NET objects into HTML that can be displayed in a Web browser. You can use this cmdlet to display the output of a command in a Web page. You can use the parameters of ConvertTo-Html to select object properties, to specify a table or list format, to specify the HTML page title, to add text before and after the object, and to return only the table or list fragment, instead of a strict DTD page. When you submit multiple objects to ConvertTo-Html, PowerShell creates the table (or list) based on the properties of the first object that you submit. If the remaining objects do not have one of the specified properties, the property value of that object is an empty cell. If the remaining objects have additional properties, those property values are not included in the file.

-AsDetermines whether the object is formatted as a table or a list. Valid values are Table and List. The default value is Table.
The Table value generates an HTML table that resembles the PowerShell table format. The header row displays the property names. Each table row represents an object and displays the object's values for each property.
The List value generates a two-column HTML table for each object that resembles the PowerShell list format. The first column displays the property name. The second column displays the property value.-BodySpecifies the text to add after the opening <BODY> tag. By default, there is no text in that position.-CssUriSpecifies the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) of the cascading style sheet (CSS) that is applied to the HTML file. The URI is included in a style sheet link in the output.-FragmentGenerates only an HTML table. The <HTML>, <HEAD>, <TITLE>, and <BODY> tags are omitted.-HeadSpecifies the content of the <HEAD> tag. The default is <title>HTML TABLE</title>. If you use the Head parameter, the Title parameter is ignored.-InputObjectSpecifies the objects to be represented in HTML. Enter a variable that contains the objects or type a command or expression that gets the objects.
If you use this parameter to submit multiple objects, such as all of the services on a computer,
ConvertTo-Html creates a table that displays the properties of a collection or of an array of
objects. To create a table of the individual objects, use the pipeline operator to pipe the objects

By default, there is no text in that position.-PropertyIncludes the specified properties of the objects in the HTML. The value of the Property parameter can be a new calculated property. The calculated property can be a scriptblock or a hash table. Valid key-value pairs are:

- FormatString - <string>
- Width - <int32> - must be greater than 0
- Alignment - value can be Left, Center, or Right
For more information, see about_Calculated_Properties.-TitleSpecifies a title for the HTML file, that is, the text that appears between the <TITLE> tags.
