| <p>A menu looks like this in Texinfo: |
| </p> |
| <div class="example"> |
| <div class="group"><pre class="example-preformatted">@menu |
| * menu entry name: Node name. A short description. |
| * Node name:: This form is preferred. |
| @end menu |
| </pre></div></div> |
| |
| <p>This produces: |
| </p> |
| <div class="example"> |
| <div class="group"><pre class="example-preformatted">* menu: |
| |
| * menu entry name: Node name. A short description. |
| * Node name:: This form is preferred. |
| </pre></div></div> |
| |
| <p>Here is an example as you might see it in a Texinfo file: |
| </p> |
| <div class="example"> |
| <div class="group"><pre class="example-preformatted">@menu |
| Larger Units of Text |
| |
| * Files:: All about handling files. |
| * Multiples: Buffers. Multiple buffers; editing |
| several files at once. |
| @end menu |
| </pre></div></div> |
| |
| <p>This produces: |
| </p> |
| <div class="example"> |
| <div class="group"><pre class="example-preformatted">* menu: |
| Larger Units of Text |
| |
| * Files:: All about handling files. |
| * Multiples: Buffers. Multiple buffers; editing |
| several files at once. |
| </pre></div></div> |
| |
| <p>In this example, the menu has two entries. ‘<samp class="samp">Files</samp>’ is both a menu |
| entry name and the name of the node referred to by that name. |
| ‘<samp class="samp">Multiples</samp>’ is the menu entry name; it refers to the node named |
| ‘<samp class="samp">Buffers</samp>’. The line ‘<samp class="samp">Larger Units of Text</samp>’ is a comment; it |
| appears in the menu, but is not an entry. |
| </p> |
| <p>Since no file name is specified with either ‘<samp class="samp">Files</samp>’ or |
| ‘<samp class="samp">Buffers</samp>’, they must be the names of nodes in the same Info file |
| (see <a class="pxref" href="Other-Info-Files.html">Referring to Other Info Files</a>). |
