How to use subtext in your menus

Subtext can be used on all menu levels and allows you to add an additional line of text underneath the main menu item to provide more meaning.

Step 1

The first thing you need to do is add a module suffix of "subtext" to your menu module (extensions -> module manager), thus activating the necessary styling to accommodate the subtext.

Step 2

Once you have added the module suffix to your menu module, you will need to update you menu items to use subtext. An example of this would be Home # This is my subtext. Notice how the # is used set the breaking point for the subtext. Don't worry, the # will not be included in your menu items.

Example of subtext in action

The below examples are of how your menus will look once subtext is activated. Please note that the actual styling of these will vary from themelet to themelet.

Top menu with subtext activated:

The subtext feature will not work if you have your menu module set to accordion.
