support
1

Hello,
I generally prefer YAML, so in my config.yml I am trying to write the menu referring to the TOML example given by @digitalcraftsman. Here is my current menu, but it yelds the error shown below.

menu:
  material:
    name: "Material"
    url: "/"
    weight: 0
  getting:
    name: "Getting started"
    url: "getting-started/"
    weight: 10
  adding:
    name: "Adding content"
    url: "adding-content/"
    weight: 20
  roadmap:
    name: "Roadmap"
    url: "roadmap/"
    weight: 30
  licence:
    name: "License"
    url: "license/"
    weight: 40

And the Hugo output:

Solved. The right solution is below. This is documented in the Menu page doc.

menu:
  main:
    - name: "Material"
      url: "/"
      weight: 0
    - name: "Getting started"
      url: "getting-started/"
      weight: 10
    - name: "Adding content"
      url: "adding-content/"
      weight: 20
    - name: "Roadmap"
      url: "roadmap/"
      weight: 30
    - name: "License"
      url: "license/"
      weight: 40
