The Parts of a Menu
===================

  A menu entry has three parts, only the second of which is required:

  1. The menu entry name.

  2. The name of the node (required).

  3. A description of the item.

  The template for a menu entry looks like this:

     * MENU-ENTRY-NAME: NODE-NAME.   DESCRIPTION

  Follow the menu entry name with a single colon and follow the node
name with tab, comma, period, or newline.

  In Info, a user selects a node with the `m' (`Info-menu') command.
The menu entry name is what the user types after the `m' command.

  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.  The description, which
is optional, can spread over two or more lines.  A useful description
complements the node name rather than repeats it.
