# MenusConfigure multilingual navigation menus in Thulite with menu files, weights, and page references for clear main, social, and footer navigation.

Define navigation in `config/_default/menus/`.

In this project:

- `menus.en.toml` defines English menus
- `menus.nl.toml` defines Dutch menus
- Add `menus.<lang>.toml` for additional languages when needed

## Common menu sections

- `main`: top navigation
- `social`: social/profile links
- `footer`: footer links

Entries are ordered by `weight` (lower first).

## Example

Add a top-level item and a child item in `menus.en.toml`:

```toml {title="config/_default/menus/menus.en.toml"}
[[main]]
  name = "Documentation"
  url = "https://docs.thulite.io/"
  weight = 10

[[main]]
  identifier = "thulite-docs"
  name = "Thulite"
  url = "https://docs.thulite.io/"
  parent = "Documentation"
  weight = 11
```

Use `pageRef` for internal pages and `url` for external links.
