Otherwise, if T is a character array and the initializer list has a single element that is an appropriately-typed string-literal ([dcl.init.string]), initialization is performed as described in that subclause.

It feels weird to me that the wording refers to something in a parentheses. Perhaps it'd be more appropriate to replace it with the following.

This refers to the formatting of an unofficial and un-approved third-party rendering of the draft.

The text in the PDF is:

Otherwise, if T is a character array and the initializer list has a single element that is an appropriately-typed string-literal (9.4.3), initialization is performed as described in that subclause.

I agree that would be better as:

Otherwise, if T is a character array and the initializer list has a single element that is an appropriately-typed string-literal, initialization is performed as described in 9.4.3.
