zsh user's guide formatting glitch

[Andrej Borsenkow]

This looks weird, does not it (taken from online version)?

3.8.4: Subshells and current shells
In case you're confused about what happens in the current shell and what
happens in a subshell, here's a summary.

...

7. All forms of substitution except `...`, $LPAR()...$RPAR(),
=LPAR()...$RPAR(), <LPAR()...$RPAR() and >LPAR()...$RPAR().

In 3.3.3: compiling functions, Special functions:


  chpwd() {
    [[ -t 1 ]] || return
    case $TERM in
      sun-cmd

print -Pn "\e]l%~\e\\" ;; *xterm*|rxvt|(dt|k|E)term) print -Pn "\e]2;%~\a" ;;
esac } ) The first line tests that standard output is really a terminal ---
you don't want

i.e. formatting is broken.

Hmm ... in my experience, setting title in chpwd() turned out to be
suboptimal. If any external program (zsh subshell including) changed your
title, zsh won't notice it until next cd. So, I finally decided in favour of
preexec(). May be, trapping child exits could do the job, but it looks just
too complicated for this simple task.

Yes.
