Creating navbar links with the default markata templates is done by adding links in your markata.toml configuration within a markata.nav block.

Example

The following example will create two links, one to the root of the site, with the text markata and one to the github repo for markata with the text of GitHub.

        
[markata.nav]
'markata'='/'
'GitHub'='https://github.com/WaylonWalker/markata'

Result

The resulting navbar would look something like this.

In your own template

If you want to continue using this method of maintaining your nav links with a custom template, add this block to your template where you want your nav to appear.

        
<nav>
  {% for text, link in markata.config.nav.items() %}
  <a href="{{link}}">{{text}}</a>
  {% endfor %}
</nav>
