Thanks - those darn markdown muscle habits! 😊 I'll peruse https://nixos.org/nixos/manual/index.html#sec-writing-documentation a bit before making more docs PRs... |

Motivation for this change
I would have liked to have read this line in the manual instead of digging up an issue.
Potentially closes the issue "nix-install cannot run unattended because interactive passwd" - see that discussion for more details.
Not too sure about formatting line breaks in the manual - I can fix that up if it's important.
