Text Pages

Side Navigation

The Side Navigation (_sidenav.html) is a required element for all Text pages. It will display immediately below the section title, aligned on the left side. Please note: Side Navigation is not used on the homepage.

The side navigation can be customized to meet your unit鈥檚 needs. When a site visitor clicks on a link in the side navigation, the visitor is taken to that page, and the selected link will be highlighted in a different color. For example, if a visitor clicks on the link titled "Visit 欧美三级片", the visitor is taken to the Visit 欧美三级片 page and the link's text will change from dark green to dark grey.

If you create nested links, they only appear in the side navigation when you are on the parent page of the nested link or on another nested page. They do not appear if you are on another page of that website section.

By hitting Enter and then Tab the nested link will show up as a hollow bullet in the WYSIWYG editor.
