      <p>
        The <code>nav</code> container can have <strong>3 parts</strong>:
      </p>
      <ul>
        <li><code>nav-left</code></li>
        <li><code>nav-center</code></li>
        <li><code>nav-right</code></li>
      </ul>
      <p>
        Each nav item needs to be wrapped in a <code>nav-item</code> element.
      </p>
      <p>
        For responsiveness, <strong>2 additional</strong> classes are available:
      </p>
      <ul>
        <li><code>nav-toggle</code> for the hamburger menu on mobile</li>
        <li><code>nav-menu</code> for menu that is collapsable on mobile (you can combine it with <code>nav-right</code>)</li>
        <li>toggle <code>is-active</code> on <code>nav-toggle</code> and <code>nav-menu</code> when <code>nav-toggle</code> was clicked</li>
      </ul>

    <div class="content">
      <ul>
        <li>the <code>nav</code> container can have a <strong>shadow</strong> by adding the <code>has-shadow</code> modifier</li>
        <li>the <code>nav-item</code> can become <strong>active</strong> by adding the <code>is-active</code> modifier</li>
        <li>the <code>nav-item</code> can become a <strong>tab</strong> by adding the <code>is-tab</code> modifier</li>

      <p>
        To optimise the space on desktop, but also allow the mobile view to be usable, you can <strong>duplicate</strong> nav items in both <code>nav-left</code> and <code>nav-right</code>, and show/hide them with <a href="{{site.url}}/documentation/modifiers/responsive-helpers/">responsive helpers</a>.
