These docs show how jekyll-awesome-nav turns a normal folder of Markdown files into navigation data your layouts can render.

The plugin does not require collections. It reads pages under the configured awesome_nav.root, builds a tree, and writes the result onto each docs page.

Start here

• Getting Started shows the minimum install and config.
• Layout Integration shows how to render sidebars, breadcrumbs, and previous/next links.
• Configuration explains the available plugin settings.
• .nav.yml Reference documents override syntax, options, and common patterns.
• Navigation Overrides shows how local .nav.yml files customize sections.
• Generated Data lists the page variables available to themes and layouts.

Folder shape

This documentation site uses a plain docs/ folder:

docs/
├── index.md
├── getting-started.md
└── guides/
    ├── index.md
    ├── install.md
    ├── layouts.md
    ├── nav-file.md
    ├── overrides.md
    ├── data.md
    ├── config.md
    └── .nav.yml

Pages are included in the generated tree when they live under awesome_nav.root. A folder can provide an index.md page to represent the section itself.
