MenuListPlugin

Folding menu list

Usage

Create a topic (in this example MenuTopic), containing a multi-level bullet list of topics you want to make a folding menu with.

Then add %MENULIST{topic="MenuTopic"}% to your sidebar.

If the currently viewed topic is in the list, MenuListPlugin will open up all the nodes leading up to where it is, and direct child nodes of this topic.
