The components of graphical interfaces will be assigned markup, but
- the specifics have not been determined.
+ most of the specifics have not been determined.
+
+ \begin{macrodesc}{menuselection}{\p{menupath}}
+ Menu selections should be marked using a combination of
+ \macro{menuselection} and \macro{sub}. This macro 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 occurances of \macro{sub}.
+
+ For example, to mark the selection ``\menuselection{Start \sub
+ Programs}'', use this markup:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\menuselection{Start \sub Programs}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+ 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.
+ \end{macrodesc}
+
+ \begin{macrodesc}{sub}{}
+ Separator for menu selections that include multiple levels. This
+ macro is only defined within the context of the
+ \macro{menuselection} macro.
+ \end{macrodesc}
