bf(The exact syntax used is em(almost) solidified.) nl()\
In the menus, bf(DON'T) try to use menuBar commands that add or remove a
menuBar.

Note that in all of the commands, the bf(em(/path/)) em(cannot) be omitted:
use bf(./) to specify a menu relative to the current menu.

nsubsect(Overview of menuBar operation)

For the menuBar XTerm escape sequence tt(ESC ] 10 ; Pt ST), the
syntax of tt(Pt) can be used for a variety of tasks:
startit()
    it()link(Commands)(menuBarCommands)
    it()link(Adding and accessing menus)(menuBarAdd)
    it()link(Removing menus)(menuBarRemove)
    it()link(Quick Arrows)(menuBarArrows)
    it()link(Command Summary)(menuBarSummary)
endit()

At the top level is the current menuBar which is a member of a circular
linked-list of other such menuBars.

The menuBar acts as a parent for the various drop-down menus, which in turn,
may have labels, separator lines, menuItems and subMenus.

The menuItems are the useful bits: you can use them to mimic keyboard input
or even to send text or escape sequences back to rxvt.

The menuBar syntax is intended to provide a simple yet robust method of
constructing and manipulating menus and navigating through the menuBars.

The first step is to use the tag bf([menu:em(name)]) which creates the
menuBar called em(name) and allows access.
You may now link(add)(menuBarAdd) or link(remove)(menuBarRemove) menus,
subMenus, and menuItems. Finally, use the tag bf([done]) to set the menuBar
access as bf(readonly) to prevent accidental corruption of the menus.
To re-access the current menuBar for alterations, use the tag bf([menu]),
make the alterations and then use bf([done])

label(menuBarCommands)
nsubsect(Commands)

startdl()
    dl(bf([menu:+em(name)]))
	(access the named menuBar for creation or alteration. If a new menuBar
	is created, it is called em(name) (max of 15 chars) and the current
	menuBar is pushed onto the stack)
P()\
    dl(bf([menu]))
	(access the current menuBar for alteration)
P()\
    dl(bf([title:+em(string)]))
	(set the current menuBar's title to em(string), which may contain the
	following format specifiers: nl()\
	bf(%%) : literal bf(%) character nl()\
	bf(%n) : rxvt name (as per the bf(-name) command-line option) nl()\
	bf(%v) : rxvt version)
P()\
    dl(bf([done]))
	(set menuBar access as bf(readonly). nl()\
	End-of-file tag for bf([read:+em(file)]) operations.)
P()\
    dl(bf([read:+em(file)]))
	(read menu commands directly from em(file) (extension ".menu" will be
	appended if required.) Start reading at a line with bf([menu]) or
	bf([menu:+em(name)) and continuing until bf([done]) is encountered.

	Blank and comment lines (starting with bf(#)) are ignored.
	Actually, since any invalid menu commands are also ignored, almost
	anything could be construed as a comment line, but this may be
	tightened up in the future ... so don't count on it!.)
P()\
    dl(bf([read:+em(file);+em(name)]))
	(The same as bf([read:+em(file)]), but start reading at a line with
	bf([menu:+em(name)]) and continuing until bf([done:+em(name)]) or
	bf([done]) is encountered.)
P()\
    dl(bf([dump]))
	(dump all menuBars to the file bf(/tmp/rxvt-PID) in a format suitable
	for later rereading.)
P()\
    dl(bf([rm:name]nl()[rm] [rm:]nl()[rm*] [rm:*]))
	(remove the named menuBar nl()\
	remove the current menuBar nl()\
	remove all menuBars)
P()\
    dl(bf([swap]))
	(swap the top two menuBars)
P()\
    dl(bf([prev]nl()[next]))
	(access the previous or next menuBar)
P()\
    dl(bf([show]nl()[hide]))
	(control display of the menuBar ... just like
	link(ESC[?10 h/l)(Priv10))
P()\
    dl(bf([pixmap:+em(name)]nl()[pixmap:+em(name);em(scaling)]))
	(set the background pixmap globally ... just like
	link(ESC ] 20 ; Pt ST)(XPM)

	bf(A Future implementation em(may) make this local to the menubar))
P()\
    dl(bf([:+em(command):]))
	(ignore the menu readonly status and issue a em(command) to
	link(Add/Modify)(menuBarAdd) or link(Remove)(menuBarRemove) a menu or
	menuitem or change the link(Quick Arrows)(menuBarArrows); a useful
	shortcut for setting the quick arrows from a menuBar.)
enddl()

label(menuBarAdd)
nsubsect(Adding and accessing menus)

The following commands may also be bf(+) prefixed.
startdl()
    dl(bf(/+nl()./+nl()../+nl()../../))
	(access menuBar top level nl()\
	access current menu level nl()\
	access parent menu (1 level up) nl()\
	access parent menu (multiple levels up))
    dl(bf(em(/path/)menu))
	(add/access menu)
    dl(bf(em(/path/)menu/*))
	(add/access menu and clear it if it exists)
    dl(bf(em(/path/){-}))
	(add separator)
    dl(bf(em(/path/){item}))
	(add bf(item) as a label)
    dl(bf(em(/path/){item} action))
	(add/alter em(menuitem) with an associated em(action))
    dl(bf(em(/path/){item}{right-text}))
	(add/alter em(menuitem) with bf(right-text) as the right-justified
	text and as the associated em(action))
    dl(bf(em(/path/){item}{rtext} action))
	(add/alter em(menuitem) with an associated em(action) and with
	bf(rtext) as the right-justified text.)
enddl()
startdl()
    dl(Special characters in em(action) must be backslash-escaped:)
	(bf(\a \b \E \e \n \r \t \octal))
    dl(or in control-character notation:)
	(bf(^@, ^A .. ^Z .. ^_, ^?))
enddl()

To send a string starting with a bf(NUL) (bf(^@)) character to the program,
start em(action) with a pair of bf(NUL) characters (bf(^@^@)), the first of
which will be stripped off and the balance directed to the program.
Otherwise if em(action) begins with bf(NUL) followed by non-+bf(NUL)
characters, the leading bf(NUL) is stripped off and the balance is sent back
to rxvt.

As a convenience for the many Emacs-type editors, em(action) may start
with bf(M-) (eg, bf(M-$) is equivalent to bf(\E$)) and a bf(CR) will be
appended if missed from bf(M-x) commands.

As a convenience for issuing XTerm bf(ESC]) sequences from a menubar
(or quick arrow), a bf(BEL) (bf(^G)) will be appended if needed.

startdl()
    dl(For example,)
	(bf(M-xapropos) is equivalent to bf(\Exapropos\r))
    dl(and)
	(bf(\E]10;mona;100) is equivalent to bf(\E]10;mona;100\a))
enddl()

The option bf({em(right-rtext)}) will be right-justified.  In the absence of
a specified action, this text will be used as the em(action) as well.

startdl()
    dl(For example,)
    	(bf(/File/{Open}{^X^F}) is equivalent to bf(/File/{Open}{^X^F} ^X^F))
enddl()

The left label em(is) necessary, since it's used for matching,
but implicitly hiding the left label (by using same name for both left
and right labels), or explicitly hiding the left label (by preceeding
it with a dot), makes it possible to have right-justified text only.
startdl()
    dl(For example,)
	(bf(/File/{Open}{Open} Open-File-Action))
    dl(or hiding it)
	(bf(/File/{.anylabel}{Open} Open-File-Action))
enddl()

label(menuBarRemove)
nsubsect(Removing menus)

startdl()
    dl(bf(-/*+nl()-+em(/path)menu+nl()-+em(/path){item}+nl()-+em(/path){-}))
	(remove all menus from the menuBar, the same as bf([clear])nl()\
	remove menu nl()\
	remove item nl()\
	remove separator)
    dl(bf(-/path/menu/*))
	(remove all items, separators and submenus from menu)
enddl()

label(menuBarArrows)
nsubsect(Quick Arrows)

The menus also provide a hook for em(quick arrows) to provide easier user
access. If nothing has been explicitly set, the default is to emulate the
curror keys. The syntax permits each arrow to be altered individually or
all four at once without re-entering their common beginning/end text. For
example, to explicitly associate cursor actions with the arrows, any of
the following forms could be used:

startdl()
    dl(bf(<r>+em(Right)nl()<l>+em(Left)nl()<u>+em(Up)nl()<d>+em(Down)))
	(Define actions for the respective arrow buttons)
    dl(bf(<b>+em(Begin)nl()<e>+em(End)))
	(Define common beginning/end parts for em(quick arrows) which used
	in conjunction with the above <r> <l> <u> <d> constructs)
enddl()

startdl()
    dl(For example, define arrows individually,)
	(bf(<u>\E[A nl()\
	<d>\E[B nl()\
	<r>\E[C nl()\
	<l>\E[D))
    dl(or all at once)
        (bf(<u>\E[A<d>\E[B<r>\E[C<l>\E[D))
    dl(or more compactly (factoring out common parts))
	(bf(<b>\E[<u>A<d>B<r>C<l>D))
enddl()
