+{{% note "Lazy Blogger"%}}
+If all you want is a simple menu for your sections, see the ["Section Menu for Lazy Bloggers" in Menu Templates](/templates/menu-templates/#section-menu-for-lazy-bloggers).
+{{% /note %}}
+
+You can do this:
+
+* Place content in one or many menus
+* Handle nested menus with unlimited depth
+* Create menu entries without being attached to any content
+* Distinguish active element (and active branch)
+
+## What is a Menu in Hugo?
+
+A **menu** is a named array of menu entries accessible by name via the [`.Site.Menus` site variable][sitevars]. For example, you can access your site's `main` menu via `.Site.Menus.main`.
+
+{{% note "Menus on Multilingual Sites" %}}
+If you make use of the [multilingual feature](/content-management/multilingual/), you can define language-independent menus.
+{{% /note %}}
+
+A menu entry has the following properties (i.e., variables) available to it:
+
+`.URL`
+: string
+
+`.Name`
+: string
+
+`.Menu`
+: string
+
+`.Identifier`
+: string
+
+`.Pre`
+: template.HTML
+
+`.Post`
+: template.HTML
+
+`.Weight`
+: int
+
+`.Parent`
+: string
+
+`.Children`
+: Menu
+
+Note that menus also have the following functions available as well:
+
+`.HasChildren`
+: boolean
+
+Additionally, there are some relevant functions available to menus on a page:
+
+`.IsMenuCurrent`
+: (menu string, menuEntry *MenuEntry ) boolean
+
+`.HasMenuCurrent`
+: (menu string, menuEntry *MenuEntry) boolean
+
+## Add content to menus
+
+Hugo allows you to add content to a menu via the content's [front matter](/content-management/front-matter/).
+
+### Simple
+
+If all you need to do is add an entry to a menu, the simple form works well.
+
+#### A Single Menu
+
+```
+---
+menu: "main"
+---
+```
+
+#### Multiple Menus
+
+```
+---
+menu: ["main", "footer"]
+---
+```
+
+#### Advanced
+
+
+```
+---
+menu:
+  docs:
+    parent: 'extras'
+    weight: 20
+---
+```
+
+## Add Non-content Entries to a Menu
+
+You can also add entries to menus that aren’t attached to a piece of content. This takes place in your Hugo project's [`config` file][config].
+
+Here’s an example snippet pulled from a configuration file:
+
+{{< code-toggle file="config.toml" >}}
+[[menu.main]]
+    name = "about hugo"
+    pre = "<i class='fa fa-heart'></i>"
+    weight = -110
+    identifier = "about"
+    url = "/about/"
+[[menu.main]]
+    name = "getting started"
+    pre = "<i class='fa fa-road'></i>"
+    weight = -100
+    url = "/getting-started/"
+{{< /code-toggle >}}
+
+{{% note %}}
+The URLs must be relative to the context root. If the `baseURL` is `https://example.com/mysite/`, then the URLs in the menu must not include the context root `mysite`. Using an absolute URL will override the baseURL. If the value used for `URL` in the above example is `https://subdomain.example.com/`, the output will be `https://subdomain.example.com`.
+{{% /note %}}
+
+## Nesting
+ 
+All nesting of content is done via the `parent` field.
+
+The parent of an entry should be the identifier of another entry. The identifier should be unique (within a menu).
+
+The following order is used to determine an Identifier:
+
+`.Name > .LinkTitle > .Title`
+
+This means that `.Title` will be used unless `.LinkTitle` is present, etc. In practice, `.Name` and `.Identifier` are only used to structure relationships and therefore never displayed.
+
+In this example, the top level of the menu is defined in your [site `config` file][config]). All content entries are attached to one of these entries via the `.Parent` field.
+
+## Render Menus
+
+See [Menu Templates](/templates/menu-templates/) for information on how to render your site menus within your templates.
