      As with most  shells, again, it is possible to  customize the appearance of
-     the  Eshell prompt.  Let’s  declare  a function  that  will abbreviate  the
-     current ~pwd~, that is, if we are in a directory inside our home directory,
-     ~/home/<username>~ will be abbreviated to an =~=.

-     Now, let’s declare our prompt, with some Nord colors
+     the  Eshell prompt.  As you  can see,  my prompt  has some  Nord colors,  a
+     shortened path,  a git  prompt, and  an indicator  of whether  the previous
+     command  succeeded or  failed. Note  however that  the abbreviation  of the
+     current path depends  on the value of  ~phundrak/prompt--abbreviate~, if it
+     is ~t~ it is abbreviated; otherwise, it is kept in full. It can be toggled
+     with a keyboard shortcut, see [[#User_Configuration-Shortcuts-Toggle-d53c27ef][Keybindings: Toggle]].
