## Menu
### File tree menu (default)
By default theme will render pages from `content/docs` section as menu in a tree structure.
You can set `title` and `weight` in front matter of pages to adjust order and titles in menu.

You can also use leaf bundle and content of it's `index.md` as
menu.
Given you have this file structure

```
Create file `content/docs/menu/index.md` with content
```md
---
headless: true

- [Page Two](/docs/page-two)

```
And Enable it by settings `BookMenuBundle: /docs/menu` in Site configuration
