Code Block language bash title Example how use run PowerShell script code with a shebang linenumbers true #!/usr/bin/env pwsh Write-Output "Hello" Write-Output "world"
As a bad alternative the PowerShell executable can be invoked directly and can be parameterized like this

##!include pwsh

pwsh.exe

that can be used with the shebang accordingly.
