MenucascadeThe <menucascade> element is used to document
a series of menu choices. The <menucascade> element
contains one or more user interface control (<uicontrol>)
elements, for example: Start > Programs > Accessories > Notepad.
If there is more than one <uicontrol> element, the
formatter shows connecting characters between the menu items to represent
the menu cascade. This element is part of the DITA user interface domain,
a special set of DITA elements designed to document user interface tasks,
concepts and reference information.
