    forceRedirect = false

    infiniteScrolling = false  # activates infinite scrolling instead of regular pagination

[menu]
    # these links will be added to the main navigation menu, sorted by weight
    # other elements in this menu are added automatically from the "pages" folder

    [[menu.main]]
        identifier = "about"
        name = "About"

    [[menu.icons]]

        url = "https://gitlab.gnome.org/gabmus"
        weight = 20

# this section is necessary if you want infinite scrolling
# it allows to output the article list as paged JSON so that "pages" can be retrieved via javascript
