I'm not sure what's up with that, as I just searched for "submenu" in 
the "Search Docs" tool and found "Recipe for populating a text menu", 
which uses building a Text menu as an example and includes this callout 
note:

     If a line in a menu starts with a tab, it is made into
     a cascading menu item.  Therefore, adding the tabs makes
     the list of fonts into a Font submenu.

Do you use the Search tool?
