  •  <navigation> ... </navigation> 
    <navigation> is defined in the Navigation module.

    The <navigation> generates graphical menus. Within it the <textstyle>, <boxstyle>, <mi> and <submenu> tags are used to specify the appearance of the menu. The <submenu> tag use the same attributes as <navigation> and is used for making nested menus.

    Attributes
    bg, bgsrc, fs, height, horiz, imgbase, indent, maxwidth, mirrortile, preload, quant, scaletofit, selected, tile, transparent, width,  

    Attributes

    bg=color
    Sets the background color of the background image.

    bgsrc=path
    Sets the background to the given image.

    fs
    Applies a Floyd-Steinberg dither to the result.

    height=number
    Sets the height of the generated menu. If not set, the height will adjust itself.

    horiz
    Makes the menu horizontal, all box-styles are rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise.

    imgbase=path
    Imgbase can be used to simplify the use of graphics in your menu. The path specified will be used as a prefix to all image paths.

    indent=number
    Sets the amount of indentation.

    maxwidth=number
    The max width of the text column. If the text in a menu box is wider than this, it will be word wrapped to fit.

    mirrortile
    Mirrortiles the background image.

    preload
    Generates extra Java Script code used to pre load all images used in the menu. This may speed up the delivery of the pages since the requested images will already be in the client's local cache when requested.

    quant=number
    Quantifies the image with the specified number of colors. The default is set in the configuration interface. At most 255 colors can be used.

    scaletofit
    Scales the background image to fit the size of the generated menu.

    selected=number
    Determines which menu item should be selected. Starts from 1. A number out of range will generate the menu without any selected item. Note that the preferred way to determine which menu items should be select is by using the selected attribute in a <mi> tag.

    tile
    Tiles the background image.

    transparent=color
    Makes the resulting GIF image transparent at pixels with the specified color. Defaults to the background color of the current document, set in the standard HTML <body> tag. Detection of HTML colors is done by the Graphics Text module.

    width=number
    Sets the width of the generated menu. If not used, the width will adjust itself.
