## Masthead
|
|
|
|
The masthead links use a "priority plus" design pattern. Meaning, show as many navigation items that will fit horizontally with a toggle to reveal the rest.
|
|
|
|
To define these links add titles and URLs under the `main` key in `_data/navigation.yml`:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
main:
|
|
- title: "Quick-Start Guide"
|
|
url: /docs/quick-start-guide/
|
|
|
|
- title: "Posts"
|
|
url: /year-archive/
|
|
|
|
- title: "Categories"
|
|
url: /categories/
|
|
|
|
- title: "Tags"
|
|
url: /tags/
|
|
|
|
- title: "Pages"
|
|
url: /page-archive/
|
|
|
|
- title: "Collections"
|
|
url: /collection-archive/
|
|
|
|
- title: "External Link"
|
|
url: https://google.com
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Which will give you a responsive masthead similar to this:
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
**ProTip:** Put the most important links first so they're always visible and not hidden behind the **menu toggle**.

## Breadcrumbs (Beta)
|
|
|
|
Enable breadcrumb links to help visitors better navigate deeply structure sites. Because of the fragile method of implementing them they don't always produce accurate links reliably. For best results:
|
|
|
|
1. Use a category based permalink structure e.g. `permalink: /:categories/:title/`
|
|
2. Manually create pages for each category or use a plugin like [jekyll-archives](https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll-archives) to auto-generate them. If these pages don't exist breadcrumb links to them will be broken.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
breadcrumbs: true # disabled by default
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Breadcrumb start link text and separator character can both be changed in `_data/ui-text.yml`.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
breadcrumb_home_label : "Home"
|
|
breadcrumb_separator : "/"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For breadcrumbs that resemble something like `Start > Blog > My Awesome Post` you'd apply these settings:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
breadcrumb_home_label : "Start"
|
|
breadcrumb_separator : ">"
|
|
``` |
