The "Edit Menu" window is used to add/remove menu items and change their order and/or properties.
Please remind that all changes are not applied to the page until you click the "Save" button but then can not be undone!
Add menu item
To add a menu item, enter the items text in the text field (at the window bottom) and click the "add" button.
Change menu item
Select the item you want to change in the list, enter the new text into the text field and click the "change" button.
Important: First select the item you want to change, then enter the text and then click the "change" button!
Delete menu item
Select the item you want to delete and then click the "remove" button. A confirmation panel will appear ("Really remove item...?") - click "yes" to delete the item. Note that the item will not really be deleted until you safe the menu by clicking the "Save" button.
Reorder menut items
Select an item and click the up/down icon to move it.
Hiding menu items
To hide a menu item, simply precede its item text with a percentage sign. So a hidden (disabled) menu item would look like this:
%A hidden menu item
Indent menu item (create submenu item)
To make a menu item into a submenu item (indent it) simply put one or more spaces (or underscores, "_") at the beginning of the items text. If you change an items text
from
Some menu item
to
Some menu item
by inserting a space at the beginning of the item's text, this item will be indented to the right – the submenu level is determined by the number of spaces you insert.
Submenu titles
To place a title above a submenu section you can create a menu item whose text starts with a hash sign ("#"). So, if you change an item's text
from
A menu section
to
#A menu section
the item will become a submenu title.
When an item text is too long it can visually distort the menu display (e.g. by stretching its width). If this happens, you can break up the items text into several lines by inserting a "\" character (backslash) into the text where appropriate (e.g. after a dash or space). So by changing a menu items text
from
A quite long menu item text
to
A quite long\menu item text
you are inserting a line break after "long".
Saving
After making you changes click the "Save" button. This will make all your
changes permanent and close the editor window. After that, the changed menu
will be displayed in your web page.
In some rare cases you might need to klick the "Reload
Page" button
of you web browser.
