+## Overview
+
+After [defining menu entries], use [menu variables and methods] to render a menu.
+
+Three factors determine how to render a menu:
+
+1. The method used to define the menu entries: [automatic], [in front matter], or [in site configuration]
+1. The menu structure: flat or nested
+1. The method used to [localize the menu entries]: site configuration or translation tables
+
+The example below handles every combination.
+
+## Example
+
+This partial template recursively "walks" a menu structure, rendering a localized, accessible nested list.
+
+{{< code file=layouts/partials/menu.html copy=true >}}
+{{- $page := .page }}
+{{- $menuID := .menuID }}
+
+{{- with index site.Menus $menuID }}
+  <nav>
+    <ul>
+      {{- partial "inline/menu/walk.html" (dict "page" $page "menuEntries" .) }}
+    </ul>
+  </nav>
+{{- end }}
+
+{{- define "partials/inline/menu/walk.html" }}
+  {{- $page := .page }}
+  {{- range .menuEntries }}
+    {{- $attrs := dict "href" .URL }}
+    {{- if $page.IsMenuCurrent .Menu . }}
+      {{- $attrs = merge $attrs (dict "class" "active" "aria-current" "page") }}
+    {{- else if $page.HasMenuCurrent .Menu .}}
+      {{- $attrs = merge $attrs (dict "class" "ancestor" "aria-current" "true") }}
+    {{- end }}
+    {{- $name := .Name }}
+    {{- with .Identifier }}
+      {{- with T . }}
+        {{- $name = . }}
+      {{- end }}
+    {{- end }}
+    <li>
+      <a
+        {{- range $k, $v := $attrs }}
+          {{- with $v }}
+            {{- printf " %s=%q" $k $v | safeHTMLAttr }}
+          {{- end }}
+        {{- end -}}
+      >{{ $name }}</a>
+      {{- with .Children }}
+        <ul>
+          {{- partial "inline/menu/walk.html" (dict "page" $page "menuEntries" .) }}
+        </ul>
+      {{- end }}
+    </li>
+  {{- end }}
+{{- end }}
+{{< /code >}}
+
+Call the partial above, passing a menu ID and the current page in context.
+
+{{< code file=layouts/_default/single.html >}}
+{{ partial "menu.html" (dict "menuID" "main" "page" .) }}
+{{ partial "menu.html" (dict "menuID" "footer" "page" .) }}
+{{< /code >}}
+
+## Page references
+
+Regardless of how you [define menu entries], an entry associated with a page has access to page variables and methods.
+
+This simplistic example renders a page parameter named `version` next to each entry's `name`. Code defensively using `with` or `if` to handle entries where (a) the entry points to an external resource, or (b) the `version` parameter is not defined.
+
+{{< code file=layouts/_default/single.html >}}
+{{- range site.Menus.main }}
+  <a href="{{ .URL }}">
+    {{ .Name }}
+    {{- with .Page }}
+      {{- with .Params.version -}}
+        ({{ . }})
+      {{- end }}
+    {{- end }}
+  </a>
+{{- end }}
+{{< /code >}}
+
+## Menu entry parameters
+
+When you define menu entries [in site configuration] or [in front matter], you can include a `params` key as shown in these examples:
+
+- [Menu entry defined in site configuration]
+- [Menu entry defined in front matter]
+
+This simplistic example renders a `class` attribute for each anchor element. Code defensively using `with` or `if` to handle entries where `params.class` is not defined.
+
+{{< code file=layouts/partials/menu.html >}}
+{{- range site.Menus.main }}
+  <a {{ with .Params.class -}} class="{{ . }}" {{ end -}} href="{{ .URL }}">
+    {{ .Name }}
+  </a>
+{{- end }}
+{{< /code >}}
+
+## Localize
+
+Hugo provides two methods to localize your menu entries. See [multilingual].
