Plus the shared output parameters from Intro.

Each row carries its children

Unlike a flat list, every item has a children collection, so one chunk renders the whole tree by calling itself:

<li>
    <a href="{$item->uri}">{$item->pagetitle}</a>
    {if $item->children}
        <ul>
            {foreach $item->children as $item}
                {include 'chunk:menuItem'}
            {/foreach}
        </ul>
    {/if}
</li>

{insert} and {include} share scope

The loop variable is visible inside the included chunk — that is what makes the recursion above work. It also means a variable you set in the parent can leak in and surprise you. Name loop variables deliberately.

Examples

Top-level menu, one level

[[!pbMenu? &level=`1` &tpl=`chunk:menuItem`]]

Submenu of a section

[[!pbMenu? &parent=`[[*id]]` &level=`2` &tpl=`chunk:menuItem`]]

From Fenom

{foreach menu(0, 2) as $item}
    <a href="{$item->uri}">{$item->pagetitle}</a>
{/foreach}
