<h3 class="section">7.3 The Parts of a Menu</h3>
<a name="index-Parts-of-a-menu"></a>
<a name="index-Menu-parts"></a>
<a name="index-_0040menu-parts"></a>

<p>A menu entry has three parts, only the second of which is required:
</p>
<ol>
<li> The menu entry name (optional).

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

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

<p>The template for a generic menu entry looks like this (but see the
next section for one more possibility):
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">* <var>menu-entry-name</var>: <var>node-name</var>.   <var>description</var>
</pre></div>

<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>. </samp>&rsquo;).
</p>
<p><code>makeinfo</code> warns when the text of a menu item (and node names
and cross references) contains a problematic construct that will
interfere with its parsing in Info.  If you don&rsquo;t want to see the
warnings, you can set the customization variable
<code>INFO_SPECIAL_CHARS_WARNING</code> to &lsquo;<samp>0</samp>&rsquo; (see <a href="Other-Customization-Variables.html#Other-Customization-Variables">Other Customization Variables</a>).
</p>
<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>
<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 multiple 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&rsquo;s up to you.  An empty line,
or the next menu entry, ends a description.
