Configuring the submenu

The submenu is the gray container underneath the topbar. It can contain the title and subtitle of the page as well as some additional links.

To create a submenu for a namespace, one has to create a page called submenu in the namespace.

An unorderd list (with links as items) will be converted into a navigation bar at the bottom of the submenu. The subitems of a nested list such as

  * [[item 1]] 
  * [[item 2]] 
      * [[subitem 1]] 
      * [[subitem 2]] 

will be shown when hoverd over the parent item.

For example, the submenu of this page was created by first adding a new page with [[submenu]] and then filling it with content:

====== Submenu ======
===== Subtitle of Submenu =====
  * [[just]]
  * [[some]]
  * [[items]]
      * [[some]]
      * [[with]]
      * [[subitems]]

Deleting a submenu is done by the same way as deleting a page, which is saving it with no content.

As mentioned before, it is possible to create for each namespace a different submenu. If there is no submenu defined in the current namespace, the submenu of the next higher level is used.

For example:

   root namespace (always present)
     │
     └── 'a' namespace
          └──'start_a', pagename,                 %start page of namespace 'a:'
          └──'submenu_a' pagename,              %submenu of namespace 'a:'
          └── 'b' namespace
               └──'submenu_b', pagename,        %submenu of namespace 'a:b:'
               └── 'c' pagename
           └──'d' namespace
               └──'e' pagename

Note: For simpler explanation, the submenus pages are named submenu_a and submenu_b, referring to the submenu page in namespace a: and b:. When implemented, both has to called only submenu.

• On page start_a, the displayed submenu will be submenu_a, as it is the submenu defined in namespace a:.
• On page c, the displayed submenu will be submenu_b, as it is the submenu defined in namespace b:.
• on page e, the displayed submenu will be submenu_a, as there is no submenu defined in namespace d:, thus the submenu defined on the next higher level is used, submenu_a.
