<span id="index-clicksequence"></span>
<p>When documenting graphical interfaces, it is necessary to describe
sequences such as ‘Click on ‘<samp>File</samp>’, then choose ‘<samp>Open</samp>’, then
…’. Texinfo offers commands <code>@clicksequence</code> and
<code>click</code> to represent this, typically used like this:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">… @clicksequence{File @click{} Open} …
</pre></div>
<p>which produces:
</p>
<div class="display">
<pre class="display">… File → Open …
</pre></div>
<span id="index-click"></span>
<span id="index-arrow"></span>
<p>The <code>@click</code> command produces a right arrow by default; this
glyph is also available independently via the command
<code>@arrow{}</code>.
</p>
<span id="index-clickstyle"></span>
<p>You can change the glyph produced by <code>@click</code> with the command
<code>@clickstyle</code>, which takes a command name as its single argument
on the rest of the line, much like <code>@itemize</code> and friends
(see <a href="_0040itemize.html"><code>@itemize</code></a>). The command should produce a glyph, and
the usual empty braces ‘<samp>{}</samp>’ are omitted. Here’s an example:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">@clickstyle @result
… @clicksequence{File @click{} Open} …
</pre></div>
<p>now produces:
</p>
<div class="display">
<pre class="display">… File ⇒ Open …
</pre></div>
</body>
