    9 For example, if you want to structure pages on your wiki and use 'native' Trac approach, you should name you pages in a specific manner:
     9For example, if you want to structure the pages on your wiki and use the 'native' Trac approach, you should name your pages in a specific manner:
    1010 * !DevGuide
    1111   * !DevGuide/Resources
    … …  
    1313 * etc.
    1414
    15 So, page name is 'coupled' with structure - if you want to change structure, you should change page name or even name of many pages.
     15So, page name is 'coupled' with structure. If you want to change the structure, then it is required to change the page name or even the names of multiple pages.

    24 In this example pages !AddingResources and !AddingPlugins has parent !DevGuide. So, if you want restructure pages, you should change 'parent' for page or some pages, and their address remain unchanged.
     24In this example pages !AddingResources and !AddingPlugins have parent !DevGuide. So, if you want to restructure pages, you should change 'parent' for either a single page or multiple pages, and their address remain unchanged.
    2525
    26 When this plugin is installed a horozontal navigation bar is displayed on the top of each wiki page. So, when you look at the page !AddingPlugins, the navigation bar will be: {{{ WikiStart / DevGuide / AddingPlugins }}}. !WikiStart is always at start of navigation bar.

     34Note the extra navigation item '''New page''' and the extra fields '''Parent page''', '''Hide from menu''', '''Page weight'''.
     35
     36The navigation line above the page title is inserted by this plugin automatically.
     37
     38Menu in left sidebar is provided by macro {{{[[TracFlexWikiTree]]}}}. It's added globally in site templates, and this plugin doesn't do this automatically.
     39
     40=== Usage
     41
     42This plugin offers the following additional page properties:
     43 
     44 * '''title''': string, just a page title, automatically displayed on top of the page and in the navigation bar
     45 * '''parent''': name of parent wiki page or empty if none
     46 * '''weight''': number, defines page ordering in menu
     47 * '''hide''': flag, if set, page won't appear in menu generated by `[[TracFlexWikiTree]]`
     48
     49There is also the following template example:
     50
     51Here is a demonstration example with `[[TracFlexWikiTree]]` macro in left sidebar: see in attachment [attachment:site.html] or in source [source:flexiblewikiplugin/0.11/tracflexwiki/templates/site_example.html].
     52
     53=== Additional macros
     54
     55Plugin provides the following additional wiki macros.
     56
     57{{{
     58[[TracFlexWikiTree]]
     59}}}
     60
     61 Shows wiki pages tree menu. Menu is generated as simple unordered list. Macro receives one optional parameter ''class'', which defines CSS class of menu.
     62
     63Example:
     64{{{
     65[[TracFlexWikiTree(class=flex-menu)]]
     66}}}
     67
     68For now, the plugin does not generate initial structure data. So, for existing pages the structure of the data is not provided. That means, they are not displayed in {{{TracFlexWikiTree}}} until you edit and save them.
     69
     70=== Further development
     71
     72Some features are not implemented yet, like '''site map'''.
     73
     74Plugin is a bit tricky: it adds extra key {{{'node'}}} to {{{request.args}}}, that is instance of class {{{TracFlexWikiNode}}}, which provides something like API for this plugin.
     75
