The tutorial for installing on windows didn't mention the exact name of the
hugo executable in windows which is generally hugo_<hugo-version>_windows_<arch>.exe.
The tutorial mentioned the windows executable's name as hugo.exe, which
can be confusing sometimes. So extra information has been added to
rename the executable to hugo.exe which would be easy to use.
Fixes#2656
i.e., "The PATH entry should be the folder where Hugo lives, not the binary."
Fixes#2280.
Also fix a rendering issue with list entries that consist of multiple
paragraphs by using four spaces instead of two. Special thanks to
@shurcooL for the insight! (Fixes#2285)
Also made a few minor formatting tweaks.
The install tutorial instructed users to rename the *.exe file to
hugo.exe because it used to have a big long name.
In Hugo 0.16 the file is already named hugo.exe, so the tutorial
made no sense on that point. Edited out those instructions.
The procedure Start button --> Settings --> About was missing a step. Corrected it to: Start --> Settings --> System --> About. Also replaced ASCII arrows (-->) with Unicode right arrow character (U+2192).
- updated the instructions to account for Windows 10 path editor
- linked to third-party editors for pre-10 Windows
- separated instructions for technical and non-technical users changed
D drive paths to C drive since D is the default optical drive on most
Windows systems
- cut the assumption about 64-bit Windows since 32-bit binary is also available
- cut the assumption about command line since we're giving GUI instructions
to non-technical users
- cut a bug in the doc where we had people typing D: at the command prompt
*after* submitting `cd D:\Hugo\Sites.` Recommend snipping 386 and AMD from
ZIP file names, since they don't add useful info and will just confuse novices.
