Documentation error: Incorrect nimble install command with escaped '#' character #192

@Yakumo-Yukari

Description

@Yakumo-Yukari

In the documentation, the following command is shown for installing Atlas:

nimble install https://github.com/nim-lang/atlas@\#head
However, this command fails on Windows with the error:

version.nim(267)         parseVersionRange
    Error:  Unexpected char in version range '\#head': \

The issue is that the backslash before # is unnecessary and causes a parsing error. The correct command should be:

nimble install https://github.com/nim-lang/atlas@#head
This works as expected on Windows (and likely on other platforms as well). Please update the documentation to remove the erroneous backslash.

Thank you!
