It gets even worse when you get to things like: `for ((' [EXPR1] `;' [EXPR2] `;' [EXPR3] `)) do' LIST `done' There's no perfect solution for this; the best would probably be for tt() text to simply be inserted plain, without styling, for info purposes. That in turn probably means fooling with what goes into zsh.texi, using @ifinfo; I'm not even sure it's possible. -- Bart Schaefer Brass Lantern Enterprises http://www.well.com/user/barts http://www.brasslantern.com
