| <p>When documenting graphical interfaces, it is necessary to describe |
| sequences such as ‘Click on ‘<samp class="samp">File</samp>’, then choose ‘<samp class="samp">Open</samp>’, then |
| …’. Texinfo offers commands <code class="code">@clicksequence</code> and |
| <code class="code">click</code> to represent this, typically used like this: |
| </p> |
| <div class="example"> |
| <pre class="example-preformatted">… @clicksequence{File @click{} Open} … |
| </pre></div> |
| |
| <p>which produces: |
| </p> |
| <div class="display"> |
| <pre class="display-preformatted">… File → Open … |
| </pre></div> |
| |
| <a class="index-entry-id" id="index-click"></a> |
| <a class="index-entry-id" id="index-arrow"></a> |
| <p>The <code class="code">@click</code> command produces a right arrow by default; this |
| glyph is also available independently via the command |
| <code class="code">@arrow{}</code>. |
| </p> |
| <a class="index-entry-id" id="index-clickstyle"></a> |
| <p>You can change the glyph produced by <code class="code">@click</code> with the command |
| <code class="code">@clickstyle</code>, which takes a command name as its single argument |
| on the rest of the line, much like <code class="code">@itemize</code> and friends |
| (see <a class="pxref" href="_0040itemize.html"><code class="code">@itemize</code>: Making an Itemized List</a>). The command should produce a glyph, and |
| the usual empty braces ‘<samp class="samp">{}</samp>’ are omitted. Here’s an example: |
| </p> |
| <div class="example"> |
| <pre class="example-preformatted">@clickstyle @result |
| … @clicksequence{File @click{} Open} … |
| </pre></div> |
| |
| <p>now produces: |
| </p> |
| <div class="display"> |
| <pre class="display-preformatted">… File ⇒ Open … |
| </pre></div> |
| |
| |
| </div> |
| |
