menu:use

Creates a generic view of the menu, suitable for iteration using the view tag library. This method of iteration does not use the sectionView or similar tags. Rather, the view is iterated over using the core view:iterate tag.

By using this tag along with the <menu:item> tag, it is possible to make the menu context-sensitive. See the documentation for >view:relationships< for more information.

Syntax
