SOLVED : Unicode symbol for menu item in menu macro

ferandec
This post was updated on .
Hello,

I'm trying to get a menu path like the following with the Asciidoctor menu macro :

Writing `menu:☰[Toolbox > Scratchpad]` in my asciidoc document doesn't give the expected result :

Is there a simple way to get what I want using menu macro or should I write the entire menu path manually with html entities (i.e. ` ☰ ▸ Toolbox ▸ Scratchpad `) ?

Thanks

Note : I found a post Use right arrow symbol in menu macro but it speaks about the separator symbol and not the menu item

Hi,

I found a workaround in the thread relative to issue #173.

Dan mentions 2 forms for menu selections :
. menu macro : menu:View[Page Style > No Style]
. free form : "View > Page Style > No Style"

With the second form, I can get what I want with the following syntax : "icon:bars[x2] > Toolbox > Scratchpad".
The result is then :

It is worth to mention that, even with the 2nd form, using the html entity for the unicode symbol known as "trigram for heaven" (☰) in place of the bars icon in the top-level menu doesn't work.
Similarly, using bars icon for the top-level menu in the 1st form of menu selections doesn't give the expected result.

Best regards

I'm glad to hear you found a solution.

FYI, the following now works as of Asciidoctor 1.5.6.1.

menu:☰[Toolbox > Scratchpad]

The reason this didn't work in Asciidoctor <= 1.5.5 is because the "&" was not listed as a valid start character. I've since added it. (See https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor/issues/2171).

Cheers,

-Dan

Thanks Dan  for your answer and your work !

Sorry to have bothered the community for an already solved issue.

Now, It's time for me to upgrade Asciidoctor and, of course, improve my skills in the use of Github issues tracking system

Hello.

First of all, thank you very much for the great work you are doing with Asciidoctor.

I tried ferandec second form (in my case, it is "icon:filter[] > Informes de la semana", but I don't get any stylized text:

This is how a stylized menu should look:

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance,

Hello CapitanPrimate,

As pointed out in the user manual, using the User Interface Macros, to which menu selections belong, implies that "You must set the experimental attribute to enable these macros."

Have you done that ?

This is done by putting :experimental: in the document header.

Hello, ferandec.

Yes, I have set that attribute since the beginning and it does work, since the "menu:&#x2630;[Export > CSV]" macro works ok, but I didn't manage to make the solution that you proposed ("icon:bars[x2] > Toolbox > Scratchpad") work like the "menu:" macro (it doesn't render as a stylized text).

You need to enable both the experimental and icons attributes in order for the second example to work.

:experimental:
:icons: font

"icon:bars[] > Toolbox > Scratchpad"

If the icons attribute is not set, you will just see the alt text "[bars]".

Yes, I was using both attributes... But I overlooked the quotation marks that the icon:[] was enclosed in.

Now it's working perfectly. Thank you both very much for your help and sorry for any inconveniencies.
