Usage

Say you have a number of pages, organized into folders, some of which are in other folders. For example, let's consider a website about music, with pages about albums organized into folders based on artists and year released:

 /
 |- Albums/ 
 | |- 1994/
 | | |- Oasis/
 | | | |- Definitely_Maybe/
 | | | | |- index.md
 | | |- The Offspring/
 | | | |- Smash/
 | | | | |- index.md
 | | |- index.md
 | |- 1995/
 | | |- Michael Jackson/
 | | | |- HIStory_Past_Present_and_Future_Book_I/
 | | | | |- index.md
 | | |- Radiohead/
 | | | |- The_Bends/
 | | | | |- index.md
 | | |- index.md
 | |- 1996/
 | | |- Jay Z/
 | | | |- Reasonable_Doubt/
 | | | | |- index.md
 | | |- Weezer/
 | | | |- Pinkerton/
 | | | | |- index.md
 | | |- index.md
 |- index.html

Let's assume that on index.md you would like to include a nested menu of all of the pages under Albums. To do this, simply use the 'nested_menu' liquid tag like so:

{% nested_menu Albums %}
