Some html formatting is used by Power Query's doc strings

Here's a random example to demonstrate html

Tips : Multiline strings

It can be messy writing a bunch of newlines in a multiline string. It's easier to use a list of strings that combine.

For Html newlines

= Text.Combine({ "Line1", "", "Line3" }, "<br>")

Refactoring ArrayList with as a Modern Array Example

I call it modern, but it fully works on PS5.1 without changes!

tip: abbreviated version using namespaces

using namespace system.collections.generic
[List[Object]]$users = @()
