This is similar to the way I created the cmdlet quick reference in the early User Guides. At the heart of the script was pulling the cmdlet definition out of the CmdletInfo object and pulling the Synopsis from the help. That way I wouldn't need to do anything by hand, just get a new build and rebuild the table automatically! It wasn't quite a one liner in the end as I built a complicated html table, but it started like this:

<code>

PS> get-command -type cmdlet |ft name,definition,@{ l = "Synopsis"; e = {(get-he

lp $_.name ).synopsis }}

</code>

It's not a one-liner but we posted the script we used to address the same issue here: http://blogs.vmware.com/vipowershell/2007/09/new-htmlhelp.html
