The inMenu (module) is a small module by Apostolos Koutsoulelos that creates a two-level, horizontal suckerfish-type menu that let you add inner subtitles or blank spaces between menu options and create more than one column inside the drop-down menu, by reading the name of the Separator / Spaceholder type.

Usage

Creating Titles, Spaces and Columns

The inMenu module works just like the preinstalled Elxis menu module; but in the contrary to the standard module, it reads the title of the Separator/Spaceholder and when the title matches one of the reserved names, the module creates either a menu title, a blank space or a column. Therefore, the most critical part comes when you create the menu associated to inMenu module.

When creating a menu:
* to add a Title inside your menu, create a new "Separator/Spaceholder" item and insert as name your title.
* to add a Blank Space inside your menu, create a new "Separator/Spaceholder" item and name it 'spacer'.
* to add a Column inside your menu, create a new "Separator/Spaceholder" item and name it 'column'.

Please note that there is no limit to the number of titles, blank spaces or columns you can create.
