While you are reading, here is the big picture: I want to get the magazine format in an easy-to-parse format. If I use -template {files} with the log command, and if there are spaces in the file names, the result is not suitable for parsing. So, according to the docs, I need to use a “style”. But I can’t even get to the point that I am using the styles set with Mercurial.

I did the vanilla Mercurial installation on Windows XP and was able to run init, add, commit, and log commands without problems.

Answer 1

AFAIK, html templates such as paper are intended for use with hgweb. I do not know how to use them from the command line.

What you can do: write a style that will be easy to make out.

Answer 2
