Description

I have a function to submit, Show-RuleHelp, which opens the .md file of help for each rule. Before I do a PR, I want to know if you're interested in including it and, if so, how?

-- Add the script containing the function to ScriptsToProcess
-- Add the function to PSScriptAnalyzer.psm1 + FunctionsToExport in the psd1

You can see the code at https://github.com/juneb/Development/blob/master/Show-RuleHelp.ps1.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked Show-RuleHelp.ps1 implementation, then inspect PSScriptAnalyzer.psm1 and the module manifest entries named in the issue. Determine whether the function belongs in ScriptsToProcess and should be exported; done requires a decided inclusion path and validation of the resulting module behavior.
