[[menu.main]]
  name = "About"
  pre = "<i class='fa fa-user fa-fw'></i>"
  weight = 2
  identifier = "about"
  url = "/about/"
  • Override the theme by linking to custom CSS files or URLs:
[params]
  custom_css = ["css/my.css"]
  • Add new behaviours by linking to custom JS files or URLs:
[params]
  custom_js = ["js/my.js", "https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/zooming/1.4.2/zooming.min.js"]
