Chris, I rolled back your setup-mingw64.ps1 example because it's seriously wrong: You passed default values to the first two parameters, but with incorrect double backslashes and you didn't include an argument for -x86_64; that would need to be <tt>$true</tt> to do anything, the default is <tt>$false</tt>. As you discovered, <tt>$true</tt> isn't guaranteed to work. The bottom line is that just <tt>setup-mingw64.ps1</tt> is sufficient for most users. IMO that's so blindingly obvious that an example is not only unnecessary but insults the reader's intelligence. [[User:Jralls|John Ralls]] ([[User talk:Jralls|talk]]) 17:54, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

Syntaxhighlight lang

There is a difference between consoles and shells:

[interpreter]con[sole]
<prompt> <command>
<output>
<prompt> <command>
<output>
bat, sh, ...
<command>
<command>

Hi Frank, Thanks for that. Where is this documented? I can only find https://pygments.org/docs/lexers/#lexers-for-various-shells Chris Good

Yes, that is the most detailed source, which I know. The rest I got told by the preview and perhaps samples somewhere else. BTW I assume you took it from the only before existng DOS example in the page "C:\>gnc-fq-check ..." --Fell (talk) 03:05, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi Frank, Yes, I copied it.

More recent versions first

In https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/index.php?title=GTK3&diff=next&oldid=19551#KDE_Register_Input_Field_Black_on_Dark_Background_Problem you have done it the other way. That means a growing number of readers has to scroll down.

Hi Frank, Good point. I have moved V4 before V3.

Chris, I rolled back your setup-mingw64.ps1 example because it's seriously wrong: You passed default values to the first two parameters, but with incorrect double backslashes and you didn't include an argument for -x86_64; that would need to be $true to do anything, the default is $false. As you discovered, $true isn't guaranteed to work. The bottom line is that just setup-mingw64.ps1 is sufficient for most users.
