!Usage:

!!UI navigation 
```
<<menu "File > New File > Blob">>
```
<<menu "File > New File > Blob">>

!! Keyboard shortcuts
```
<<keys "Ctrl > Alt > 7">>
```
<<keys "Ctrl > Alt > 7">>

!! Paths
```
<<path "Documents/Projects">>
```
<<path "Documents/Projects">>

You can use both forward and back slashes, and colons in the path, so can represent file paths in all operating systems:

<<path "/home/bob/Documents/file.txt">>
<<path "H:\Documents\file.txt">>

! NOTE

Be careful with spaces after the string parameter when using Markdown.  The following will render correctly using Wikitext tiddlers:

```
<<menu "A > B > C" >>
```

but will fail with Markdown tiddlers.  This is likely a bug in the Markdown parser.

To be safe, don't use a trailing space:

```
<<menu "A > B > C" >> # BAD
<<menu "A > B > C">>  # OK
```
