Subnavs for automatically build nav?

[wwiggins]

Hello! I built a static site with Jekyll that uses the default template’s system of adding any page with Title frontmatter to a navbar.

But now that the navbar is getting pretty crowded, I want to figure out a way to group some pages into categories and build dropdown subnavs.

Is this a road too far for the automatic navbar? Do I have to scrap it and manually create a nav, or is there some way I’m overlooking?

Thanks!

There are a lot of ways you can do this. Most of them involve YAML Front Matter and some Liquid for loops.

Hi wwiggins, did you figure out a way how to do this?

I’m interested because I’m in the same pickle.
