<h3 class="section">7.3 The Parts of a Menu</h3>

<p><a name="index-Parts-of-a-menu-349"></a><a name="index-Menu-parts-350"></a><a name="index-g_t_0040code_007b_0040_0040menu_007d-parts-351"></a>
A menu entry has three parts, only the second of which is required:

     <ol type=1 start=1>
<li>The menu entry name (optional).

     <li>The name of the node (required).

     <li>A description of the item (optional).
       </ol>

  <p>The template for a generic menu entry looks like this (but see the
next section for one more possibility):

<pre class="example">     * <var>menu-entry-name</var>: <var>node-name</var>.   <var>description</var>
</pre>
  <p>Follow the menu entry name with a single colon and follow the node name
with tab, comma, newline, or the two characters period and space
(&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">. </span></samp>&rsquo;).

  <p>In Info, a user selects a node with the <kbd>m</kbd> (<code>Info-menu</code>)
command.  The menu entry name is what the user types after the <kbd>m</kbd>
command.

  <p>The third part of a menu entry is a descriptive phrase or sentence. 
Menu entry names and node names are often short; the description
explains to the reader what the node is about.  A useful description
complements the node name rather than repeats it.  The description,
which is optional, can spread over two or more lines; if it does, some
authors prefer to indent the second line while others prefer to align it
with the first (and all others).  It's up to you.
