I can't comment on whether this makes sense since I'm, not very familiar with PowerShell, but this line is excessively long compared to any other lines in this file.

Made it ever so slightly shorter, but wasn’t quite sure how to shorten it by a large amount

I was talking about adding linebreaks, not actually shortening the content ;)

Also, being a rst file, links should be correctly marked as links and not just plaintext urls. You can check other links in the same file for examples on how that's done.

I’ve added line breaks, but I’ve never used rst before and can’t figure out how to do the links…

Figured them out now, I was using the wrong type of apostrophe 🤦
Reword PowerShell script execution policy instructions for length
Split the PowerShell script execution policy instructions into separate lines for better readability.
Updated the link format for PowerShell execution policy documentation.

Just checked my build and the link is broken... |

Fixed! Silly missing underscores. |

I don't think we need to go into this detail here. In fact, I really want to reduce this page, and point people at official docs for uv, virtualenv, etc instead. |

I’m not really sure how to link to that note in the docs as you have to scroll halfway down that page to actually find that note - it would probably be easier for a user to just read it straight from the flask docs, unless you can find a better link that I could use. |
