How about using SGML/XML entities for this? I believe they're just the  
right thing, and it should work for you without adding a new section,  
and it would work for every document in Gnome help system, if it  
includes eg. "&filerollermenupath;" or "&eogmenupath;".

I belive this is far superior for users from using a simple "see  
there".
