.SH DESCRIPTION
.B xmenu
is a menu for X,
it reads a list of newline-separated items from stdin,

and outputs the item selected to stdout.

Each item read from stdin has the following format:
.IP
.EX
ITEM := [TABS] [[IMAGE TABS] LABEL [TABS OUTPUT]] NEWLINE

.PP
That means that each item is composed by
tabs, followed by an optional image specification, followed by tabs
followed by a label, followed by more tabs, followed by an output,
and ended by a newline.  Brackets group optional elements.
.IP
The initial tabs indicate the menu hierarchy:
items indented with a tab is shown in a submenu of the preceding item not indented.
An item without initial tabs is a top-level item.
.IP
The image is a string of the form "IMG:/path/to/image.png".
It specifies a image to be shown as icon at the left of the entry.

The label is the string that will be shown as a item in the menu.
An item without label is considered a separator and is drawn as a thin line in the menu
