# `<menucascade>`

The `<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, a formatter might show 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.
