A short description. * Node name:: This form is preferred. @end menu </pre></div> <p>This produces: </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">* menu: * menu entry name: Node name. A short description. * Node name:: This form is preferred. </pre></div> <p>Here is an example as you might see it in a Texinfo file: </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">@menu Larger Units of Text * Files:: All about handling files. * Multiples: Buffers. Multiple buffers; editing several files at once. @end menu </pre></div> <p>This produces: </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">* menu: Larger Units of Text * Files:: All about handling files. * Multiples: Buffers. Multiple buffers; editing several files at once. </pre></div> <p>In this example, the menu has two entries. ‘<samp>Files</samp>’ is both a menu entry name and the name of the node referred to by that name. ‘<samp>Multiples</samp>’ is the menu entry name; it refers to the node named ‘<samp>Buffers</samp>’. The line ‘<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>Files</samp>’ or ‘<samp>Buffers</samp>’, they must be the names of nodes in the same Info file (see <a href="Other-Info-Files.html">Referring to Other Info Files</a>). </p> </div> </body> </html>
