Option for HTML Fragment generation?
Is there an option to generate HTML as a fragment that can be inserted into another HTML document? The scenario I am trying to solve is generation of HTML content to go into a Confluence page, so I need HTML that is just a fragment and doesn't include the tags and could probably all be contained within a
I didn't see an option on New-Html for that kind of generation. I looked for a New-Html* function that might server as a parent, but I didn't see anything. I tried using New-HtmlContainer as the root object and it does generate some HTML, but it also throws some errors.
Does this capability exist?

It's more complicated. What you're seeing in the errors is tracking which libraries are used (aka JavaScript / CSS code) and are required for functionality to function. This means while it probably could be done to skip generating Header/Footer and just give you the body it would miss a large portion of code required for PSWriteHTML to give you what you need.
I guess confluence doesn't like the top-level tags right?

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html><head>
What happens if you remove those top tags, and remove /HTML /head closing ones as well? For this to work we would need to figure out what makes confluence and other similar use cases freak out - and how to figure it out.
I can see the need and usefulness for this - just not sure how to address it.
Also keep in mind that there could be library conflicts - for example, if confluence uses JQuery and I attach Jquery in my HTML it will conflict.
