Description Mike Kaganski 2025-08-06 08:46:24 UTC
Ref: https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/cant-start-libreoffice-with-socket-settings/125164/2
Ref: https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/passing-in-json-parameters-into-writer-for-the-convert-to-option/88142
and many more.

Some examples in help quote command line parameters. That is system-dependent; Linux command line may accept single-qouted parameters, while on Windows, cmd.exe doesn't.

Of course, it's also shell-dependent; e.g., the syntax differs between cmd.exe ad powershell (and even between different powershell versions, sigh).

We need to make system variants; and also always explicitly mention, which shell that is.
