<span id="index-Menus_002c-in-Info-format"></span>
<p>Conventionally menus appear at the end of nodes, but the Info format
places no restrictions on their location.
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example"> <menu> =
* Menu:
(<menu entry> | <menu comment>)*
</pre></div>
<p>The parts of a <tt><menu entry></tt> are also described in <a href="Menu-Parts.html">Menu Parts</a>. They have the same syntax as cross-references (see <a href="Info-Format-Cross-Reference.html">Info Format Cross Reference</a>). Indices extend the menu format to specify the
destination line; see <a href="Info-Format-Printindex.html">Info Format Printindex</a>.
</p>
<p>A <tt><menu comment></tt> is any line not beginning with ‘<samp>*</samp>’ that
appears either at the beginning of the menu or is separated from a
menu entry by one or more blank lines. These comments are intended to
be displayed as part of the menu, as-is (see <a href="Writing-a-Menu.html">Writing a Menu</a>).
