        <dev:remarks>
          <maml:para>In this example `$pwd` equals to `C:\Temp\test`. This directory contains two files, `123.ps1` and `321.ps1`. `Move-FileToFolder` moves both files to the newly created folder `2023-09-04`.</maml:para>

          <maml:para>In this example `$pwd` equals to `C:\Temp\test`. This directory contains two files, `123.ps1` and `321.ps1`. `Move-FileToFolder` would have created the folder `2023-09-04` and moved the files there, but since -WhatIf was specified, nothing was changed.</maml:para>
