+To make accessing ''%%wf-%%'' tools easy, you may want to alias ''%%wf-env%%'' to allow them to be easily added to PATH when needed:
-  * For **bash**, add ''%%source /opt/wonderful/bin/wf-env%%'' to your ''%%~/.profile%%''.
-  * For **fish**, add ''%%. /opt/wonderful/bin/wf-env.fish%%'' to your Fish configuration.
-  * For **zsh**, add ''%%source /opt/wonderful/bin/wf-env%%'' to your ''%%~/.zprofile%%''.
-Alternatively, you may want to alias ''%%wf-env%%'' to allow them to be easily added when needed:
   * For **bash**, add ''%%alias wf-env='source /opt/wonderful/bin/wf-env'%%'' to your ''%%~/.profile%%''.
   * For **fish**, add ''%%alias wf-env . /opt/wonderful/bin/wf-env.fish%%'' to your Fish configuration.
   * For **zsh**, add ''%%alias wf-env='source /opt/wonderful/bin/wf-env'%%'' to your ''%%~/.zprofile%%''.

+<WRAP center round important 100%>

+</WRAP>
+  * For **bash**, add ''%%source /opt/wonderful/bin/wf-env%%'' to your ''%%~/.profile%%''.
+  * For **fish**, add ''%%. /opt/wonderful/bin/wf-env.fish%%'' to your Fish configuration.
+  * For **zsh**, add ''%%source /opt/wonderful/bin/wf-env%%'' to your ''%%~/.zprofile%%''.
 If you want to access toolchain components (like ''ia16-elf-gcc'' or ''arm-none-eabi-objdump'') directly, you may wish to add the ''%%-a%%'' argument.
