The example is showing the entire contents of the prompt; the %<< is
not needed if the prompt string ends after %/ but in your case there
is more stuff following.

Probably not most ideal example, though.  A have a nagging thought that
when first introduced, %<< could only truncate the entire remainder of
the prompt and didn't stop at the next %<<, so when the example was made
up there was probably no reason to close the truncation.
