@ -1720,12 +1720,12 @@ Here are some issues you might encounter when you run hledger
[mail list](http://list.hledger.org) or
[bug tracker](http://bugs.hledger.org)):
##### Successfully installed, but "No command 'hledger' found"
**Successfully installed, but "No command 'hledger' found"**
cabal installs binaries into a special directory, which should be added
to your PATH environment variable. On unix-like systems, it is
~/.cabal/bin.
##### "Illegal byte sequence" or "Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character" errors
**"Illegal byte sequence" or "Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character" errors**
In order to handle non-ascii letters and symbols (like £), hledger needs
an appropriate locale. This is usually configured system-wide; you can
also configure it temporarily. The locale may need to be one that

Here are some things to be aware of.
##### Add-on-specific options must follow --
**Add-on-specific options must follow --**
When invoking an add-on via hledger, add-on flags which are not also
understood by the main hledger executable must have a `--` argument
preceding them. Eg hledger-web's `--server` flag must be used like so:
`hledger web -- --server`.
##### -w/--width and --debug options must be written without whitespace
**-w/--width and --debug options must be written without whitespace**
Up to hledger 0.23, these optional-value flags [did not work](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/issues/149) with whitespace between the flag and value.
IE these worked: `--debug`, `-w`, `--debug=2`, `-w100`, but these did not: `--debug 2`, `-w 100`.
From 0.24, a value is required and the whitespace does not matter.
##### Not all of Ledger's journal file syntax is supported
**Not all of Ledger's journal file syntax is supported**
See [file format differences](faq#file-format-differences).
##### balance is less speedy than Ledger's on large data files
**balance is less speedy than Ledger's on large data files**
hledger's balance command (in particular) takes more time, and uses more memory, than Ledger's.
This becomes more noticeable with large data files.
##### Windows CMD.EXE
**Windows CMD.EXE**
Non-ascii characters and colours are not supported.
##### Windows cygwin/msys/mintty
**Windows cygwin/msys/mintty**
The tab key is not supported in hledger add.
