Top navigation bar
The top navigation bar is a list of links to the pages in your site. It is generated automatically from the pages in your site.
It contains (left to right):
- The logo of the site
- The announcement bar
- The external links
- The project github link
So lets talk about each of these:
Logo #
The logo is the image that appears on the top left of the site. It is generated from the logo
field in the root _meta.md
file. It can be customized there. It links to the root of the documentation site.
Announcement bar #
This is an optional field that can be added to the root _meta.md
file. It is a markdown field that can be used to display an announcement on the top of the website. Some examples could be:
- Link to the patreon page
- Link to the slack channel
- New version announcement
- New feature announcement
- etc.
External links #
This section allows to define some external links as needed. External links come from the external_links
field in the root _meta.md
file. It is a list of links that can be used to link to external resources. Some examples could be:
- Link to the website (
yourproject.com
) - Link to the merchandize page (
shop.yourproject.com
) - Link to related products (
other.yourproject.com
)
Consider that links are added right to left. So the first link will be the rightmost link in the top bar.
Project github link #
As the name indicates, this is a link to the github page of the project. It is generated from the github
field in the root _meta.md
file. It can be customized there. It links to the root of the documentation site.
