Hmm, I wasn't aware about those cmdlets but from the quick investigation I did the MarkdownPS offers a completely different functionality. The module offers the ability to render/produce markdown and now with these nice cmdlets you can get a quick conversion or preview in html. So completely different functionality around the same topic that is markdown.
With regards to the SVGs, the shields.io is very simple alternative I think without getting into SVG territory. It also doesn't require the creation of any resource, so I think having the ability to generate a text that shows a nice picture without the need to create any additional files anywhere is the best and simplest way. It is the same as the shields and badges that everyone uses in the github repositories. The module was created in a manner that other services like shields.io can be used but I've not looked further.
From humble beginnings at an MSP, I've adventured through life as a sysadmin, into an engineer, and finally landed as a developer focused on fixing problems with automation.
Thanks for the response. My only concern with using external resources is corporate firewalls and the like breaking what would otherwise be nice reporting functionality.
In that case you have a problem indeed. You would need to produce the picture first, store it and then use MarkdownPS normal image cmdlets to reference the just produced picture.
For the purpose of this badge, you can download the pictures upfront and just reference them.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
