```

  [[menu.main]]

  [[menu.main]]
        identifier = "categories"

        weight = 2 

  [[menu.main]]
        identifier = "tags"

## Optional features
### Custom copyright text
Add `copyright = "Your text here"` - in the config.toml to change the copyright notice in the footer.

### Image captions
You can add captions to images (technically using `<figcaption>` HTML tags) by adding titles, like so: `![Alt text here](/path/to/image.png "Put your caption here!")`
