            Bug ID: 108379
           Summary: WIKIHELP: use > or ▸in menu locations, not dash
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: medium
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: info at skierpage.com
                CC: olivier.hallot at documentfoundation.org

Help documentation, like https://help.libreoffice.org/Chart/Format_Selection
and https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Comparing_Versions_of_a_Document , uses
a dash in menu locations, e.g. '''Edit - Track Changes - Record Changes'''.

This is semantically wrong. The words are not alternatives, they are a path
through the menu hierarchy. Most other projects use an arrow, triangle, or
greater-than sign, thus '''Edit > Track Changes > Record Changes'''.

The LO release notes https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/5.3 use a
triangle glyph, e.g. Format ▸ Merge cells ▸ Merge cells, generated by the
breadcrumb template {{bc|Format|Merge cells|Merge cells}}.
