Pandoc and the PATH Variable on Windows

[johnoregan]

Hello All,

I recently upgraded to Pandoc 3.6.4 on Windows using the .msi installer.

Pandoc appended the path to pandoc.exe to the PATH variable, even though it was there already from an earlier installation. To add insult to injury, there was a trailing backslash at the end. Tsk, tsk!

Thanks!

John

It's in my PATH only once, but I do uninstall the previous version before installing a new one.

As for the trailing backlash, same is done by Python's and MS' own Powershell installers, and other installers. No biggie.

Hi Kysko, You're right. No biggie. Nevertheless, it's best practice to omit the backslash at the end of a path, apart from the root, of course. Cheers! John
