Open the tpl_header.php file in the code editor.
Insert the menu code in the file right before the following code:
<!-- BREADCRUMBS -->
Here is the custom code for the header section.
<!-- Begin Custom Menu --> <style type="text/css"> #custom_menu {clear:both;} #custom_menu ul {padding:0px;} #custom_menu ul li {display:inline; margin:0px 10px 0px 0px;} </style> <div id="custom_menu"> <ul> <li><a href="/doku.php?id=html_basics">Html Basics</a></li> <li><a href="/doku.php?id=contact_us">Contact Us</a></li> </ul> </div> <!-- End Custom Menu -->
