Description
Bug description
Only one level of sub-menus is supported in top navbar.
Created this issue based on this discussion because it sounded like the current behavior is not the desired behavior, but I couldn't find a corresponding issue. I'm not sure "bug" is the appropriate classification here.
Steps to reproduce
Copied from discussion:
website:
title: "Nested drop down menu"
navbar:
right:
- text: "Menu Title"
menu:
- text: submenu
menu:
- text: "Submenu Title"
href: whatever.qmd
- text: "Item title"
href: whatever.qmd
- text: "Item title"
href: whatever.qmd
Expected behavior
A nested sub-menu element is rendered
Actual behavior
this menu does not support sub-menus
Your environment
Vim
Pop!_OS 22

Research direction
Start by reproducing the nested-navbar YAML example from the issue with Quarto, then read discussion 6461 for the intended behavior and context. Trace the top-navigation rendering path to the source of this menu does not support sub-menus; done means nested sub-menu elements render without that error while existing menu items continue to work.
