menuselection¶
Introduction¶
Menu selections should be marked using the menuselection role. This is used to mark a complete sequence of menu selections, including selecting submenus and choosing a specific operation, or any subsequence of such a sequence.
The names of individual selections should be separated by -->
.
Example 1¶
For example, to mark the selection Start -> Programs
, use this markup:
:menuselection:`Start --> Programs`
Start ‣ Programs
When including a selection that includes some trailing indicator, such as the ellipsis some operating systems use to indicate that the command opens a dialog, the indicator should be omitted from the selection name.
Example 2 ampersand accelerators¶
menuselection also supports ampersand accelerators just like guilabel.
:menuselection:`Start --> &Programs`
Start ‣ Programs
