`Convert HEIC Images to JPG` Homebrew install flags no longer accurate, or not accurate on WSL

Describe what the issue is
The imagemagick installation instructions in Convert HEIC Images to JPG did not work for me on WSL when I tried to install today: the command brew install imagemagick --with-libheif failed with Error: invalid option: --with-libheif.
It seems that as of 2019, HEIC support is built into the brew-installed imagemagick suite by default. I confirmed this when I ran brew install imagemagick, no flags, and saw the following:
==> Installing dependencies for imagemagick: libpng, freetype, jpeg, libtiff, libxml2, gettext, util-linux, fontconfig, libidn, ghostscript, aom, libde265, pcre, sqlite, glib, docbook, docbook-xsl, gnu-getopt, libgpg-error, libgcrypt, libxslt, xmlto, shared-mime-info, x265, libheif, liblqr, libomp, libtool, little-cms2, ilmbase, openexr, openjpeg and webp
Note the libheif dependency.
Further (and more importantly), when I ran mogrify -format jpg *.heic as suggested in your post, it worked with imagemagick installed as above.
So, YMMV on macos, but I believe that that flag is no longer necessary and can be removed from the post.
Thanks for sharing these instructions; they showed up high in the google search results and I'm glad they did.
Turns out some things have changed since 2018, ha.
So I've heard.
I wish every issue against my repos was this detailed.
So do I! It's the least I can do to say thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
