This is great feedback!

I've reported this before, but I don't see a bug# for it; perhaps it
was by email? In any case here are some properly formatted install
instructions, a little out of date:

This is an interactive example, the %1 should be removed as it's only
applicable when used inside batch files.

> Installing Leo:
> @C:\Python26\python.exe -i “C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\leo
> \launchLeo.py” %*

this doesn't make sense to me. It's an example of running leo, not
installing it.
... and I don't see it on this page, are you pulling this from somewhere else?
http://webpages.charter.net/edreamleo/install.html#installing-leo-on-windows

>Running Leo:
>cd <path-to-leo>
>c:\\Python26\\python <path-to-leo>launchLeo.py %1

the "cd <path-to-leo>" is superfluous and can be removed.

> 6a. There's a difference between "%1" and "%*".

%1 means pass the first parameter after the batch file name, %* means
pass all parameters. The latter is better in the context of a batch in
PATH to start Leo from the command line. The former is used in the
context of filetype association.

> 6c. The double backslashes are not needed.

yes. in an older version of the web docs there were no slashes at all.
There is something wrong with the leo->html converter. At least in the
current version the double backslashes will still work, unlike
everythingmashedtogether. :)

thanks again for taking the time to write this up!
