Fixup and update cmd.exe shelling out docs #1605

Closed Kissaki closed 2 weeks ago

Kissaki commented 2 weeks ago

The documentation about shelling out cmd.exe commands was outdated, incomplete, and confusing.

The docs receive a significant update to structure and information:

These version docs may not be useful in the long run, given the version release ages. Nevertheless, these docs will serve as a good, thorough reference even if the information about older versions will be removed at some point or even soon.

The docs themselves provide enough context and source links to verify their correctness. I will not repeat those here in the commit description.

CI failure on a file I did not change

error: `punctutation` should be `punctuation`
  --> ./book/modules/creating_modules.md:468:7

=> #1606

I don't really see the value of mentioning old versions of nushell here.

Kissaki commented 2 weeks ago

Shall I update it only with the most recent info then?

Or is merging this, and then doing a follow-up to reduce it to the recent version viable, which would produce a conclusive doc of the behavior changes in the git log?

fdncred commented 2 weeks ago

ya, i think it would be better to fix it here and only have info on the latest version.
