### Menu Location

The short text before a menu may look awkward in a printed manual. To avoid this, you can write a menu near the beginning of its node and follow the menu by an `@node` line, and then an `@heading` line located within `@ifinfo` and `@end ifinfo`. This way, the menu, `@node` line, and title appear only in the Info file, not the printed document.

For example, the preceding two paragraphs follow an Info-only menu, `@node` line, and heading, and look like this:

    @menu
    * Menu Location::             Put a menu in a short node.
    * Writing a Menu::            What is a menu?
    * Menu Parts::                A menu entry has three parts.
    * Less Cluttered Menu Entry:: Two part menu entry.
    * Menu Example::              Two and three part entries.
    * Other Info Files::          How to refer to a different
                                    Info file.
