 Writing a Menu
 ==============
 
   A menu consists of an `@menu' command on a line by itself followed by
 menu entry lines or menu comment lines and then by an `@end menu'
 command on a line by itself.
 
   A menu looks like this:
 
      @menu
      Larger Units of Text
      
      * Files::                       All about handling files.
      * Multiples: Buffers.           Multiple buffers; editing
                                        several files at once.
      @end menu
 
   In a menu, every line that begins with an `* ' is a "menu entry".
 (Note the space after the asterisk.)  A line that does not start with
 an `* ' may also appear in a menu.  Such a line is not a menu entry but
 is a menu comment line that appears in the Info file.  In the example
 above, the line `Larger Units of Text' is a menu comment line; the two
 lines starting with `* ' are menu entries.  Space characters in a menu
 are preserved as-is; this allows you to format the menu as you wish.
