* VimTeX does not work well with the 'shell' setting set to Windows
PowerShell. It is therefore recommended to use the default 'shell'
settings. See [2] for more information.
* |:VimtexInfo| might fail on the first attempt to run because Windows
doesn't natively support UTF-8. This support can be enabled by :
- navigating to `Control Panel/Clock and Region/Region`,
- going to the `Administrative` tab and clicking on the
`Change system locale` button,
- checking the box for `Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language support`.
See also [3].
Note that this Windows feature is still in Beta and could cause side
effects on other programs. Use it with care and revert the process if you
encounter more trouble.
