## Nested Dropdowns
95+
96+
You can create nested dropdowns (submenus) by using the `submenu` key instead of `url`:

99+
plugins:
100+
- header-dropdown:
101+
dropdowns:
102+
- title: "Resources"
103+
links:
104+
- text: "GitHub"
105+
url: "https://github.com/example"
106+
- text: "Documentation" # This will have an arrow
107+
submenu:
108+
- text: "User Guide"
109+
url: "/guide/"
110+
- text: "API Reference"
111+
url: "/api/"
112+
- text: "FAQ"
113+
url: "/faq/"
114+
```
115+
116+
**Live Example**: Hover over the "Resources" dropdown and then hover over "Documentation" to see a nested submenu appear to the right!

Features:
119+
- Arrow indicator (▶) shows which items have submenus
120+
- Submenus appear on hover to the right
121+
- Works with both mouse and keyboard navigation
122+
