Then run hugo (or set `theme: book` in configuration file)

## 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.
### Leaf bundle menu
You can also use leaf bundle and content of it's `index.md` as
menu.
Given you have this file structure
```
├── content
│ ├── docs
│ │ ├── page-one.md
│ │ └── page-two.md
│ └── posts
│ ├── post-one.md
│ └── post-two.md
```
Create file `content/docs/menu/index.md` with content
```md
---
headless: true
---
- [Book Example](/docs/)
- [Page One](/docs/page-one)
- [Page Two](/docs/page-two)
- [Blog](/posts)
```
And Enable it by settings `BookMenuBundle: /docs/menu` in Site configuration
