(texinfo) Menu Location

 
 Menus Need Short Nodes
 ======================
 
   The short text before a menu may look awkward in a printed manual.  To
 avoid this, you can write a menu near the beginning of its node and
 follow the menu by an `@node' line, and then an `@heading' line located
 within `@ifinfo' and `@end ifinfo'.  This way, the menu, `@node' line,
 and title appear only in the Info file, not the printed document.
 
   For example, the preceding two paragraphs follow an Info-only menu,
 `@node' line, and heading, and look like this:
 
      @menu
      * Menu Location::             Put a menu in a short node.
      * Writing a Menu::            What is a menu?
      * Menu Parts::                A menu entry has three parts.
      * Less Cluttered Menu Entry:: Two part menu entry.
      * Menu Example::              Two and three part entries.
      * Other Info Files::          How to refer to a different
                                      Info file.

   The Texinfo file for this document contains more than a dozen
 examples of this procedure.  One is at the beginning of this chapter;
 another is at the beginning of  Cross References.
