| |
| <p>When the menu entry name and node name are the same, you can write |
| the name immediately after the asterisk and space at the beginning of |
| the line and follow the name with two colons. |
| </p> |
| <p>For example, write |
| </p> |
| <div class="example"> |
| <pre class="example-preformatted">* Name:: <var class="var">description</var> |
| </pre></div> |
| |
| <p>instead of |
| </p> |
| <div class="example"> |
| <pre class="example-preformatted">* Name: Name. <var class="var">description</var> |
| </pre></div> |
| |
| <p>We recommend using the node name for the menu entry name whenever |
| possible, since it reduces visual clutter in the menu. |
