The header menu is the set of links on the bottom edge of the black banner on the top part of the page. It can be an internal link to a certain page in your website that is often visited, an external link to another website, or a button to switch the content language.

Internal links

The most basic way to add a new header menu is to add a new parameter block menu.header in the config.toml. Suppose you want to add a header menu entry for the content at /URL, you should add

[[menu.header]]
   name = "DISPLAYED NAME"
   url = "/URL"
   weight = 1

where the weight specifies the order of the header menu when there are multiple entries.

External links

You can also add external links with small banners. Add a new parameter block Params.exlink in the config.toml:

[[Params.exlink]]
  url = "LINK"
  pass = "PATH TO IMAGES"

Language-switch button

The link for switching languages is created by the parameter block Languages.**.params:

[Languages.en]
  weight = 1
[Languages.en.params]
  Language_name = "English"

The weight corresponds to the order in which the languages are placed, and the Language_name is the string that is displayed for the language. See also Going global for an example.
