<span id="index-Menu-location"></span>
<span id="index-Location-of-menus"></span>
<p>There may be at most one menu in a node. A menu is conventionally
located at the end of a node, without any regular text or additional
commands between the <code>@end menu</code> and the beginning of the next
node.
</p>
<span id="index-Info-format_002c-and-menus"></span>
<p>This convention is useful, since a reader who uses the menu could
easily miss any such text. Also, any such post-menu text will be
considered part of the menu in Info output (which has no marker for
the end of a menu). Thus, a line beginning with ‘<samp>* </samp>’ will likely
be incorrectly handled.
</p>
<p>It’s usually best if a node with a menu does not contain much text.
If you find yourself with a lot of text before a menu, we generally
recommend moving all but a couple of paragraphs into a new subnode.
Otherwise, it is easy for readers to miss the menu.
