For what it’s worth, Stack Overflow still does not provide a good option for PowerShell at all right now.

To show this, let's look at one of the most-basic items in PowerShell: the Get-dateDate cmdlet.

Starting with 

Get-dateDate

Or ```sh

Get-dateDate

Both cases see the - as a subtraction operator and then show the words "Get" and "date" in different colors. Yet clearly this is one call to the Get-date cmdlet.

There's also ```powershell

Get-dateDate

which does nothing at all, and ```lang-default

Get-dateDate

which at least allows some kind of detection to work, but it still gets it wrong.

The most current version of highlight.js does highlight this correctly:

So it does seem to be a version issue, rather than an HL.js one.

Note that the PS highlighting is fixed in the current HL.js version, tie answer complaint back to question
