webgen users - Mar 2007 - Two questions about menus

1) Feature request: the possibility to indicate a "short title" to
appear in the menu when the title would be too long.

2) Consider this site:

  a.page
  misc/
    sub.page

Now I see in the menu:

   A
   Misc
   | Sub

Is there any way to change "Misc" to an arbitrary string?

I tried with

  misc:
    title: arbitrary

with no luck.

Hmm... you can try this in your page file:

---
title: This is my rather long title I wished was shorter
linkAttrs:
   :link_text: Short Title
---
My content.

If you have a directory index file, then it''s easy: just specify a  
meta info called directoryName - this is then used as localized  
directory name.

Or: put the following in the OUTPUT backing section of your meta info  
backing file:

misc:
   title: arbitrary

However, using this way the directory name cannot be localized.
