Returns the post property of the given menu entry.

Syntax: MENUENTRY.Post
Returns: template.HTML

In this project configuration we enable rendering of emoji shortcodes, and add emoji shortcodes before (pre) and after (post) each menu entry:

enableEmoji: true
menus:
  main:
  - name: About
    pageRef: /about
    post: ':point_left:'
    pre: ':point_right:'
    weight: 10
  - name: Contact
    pageRef: /contact
    post: ':arrow_left:'
    pre: ':arrow_right:'
    weight: 20

enableEmoji = true
[menus]
  [[menus.main]]
    name = 'About'
    pageRef = '/about'
    post = ':point_left:'
    pre = ':point_right:'
    weight = 10
  [[menus.main]]
    name = 'Contact'
    pageRef = '/contact'
    post = ':arrow_left:'
    pre = ':arrow_right:'
    weight = 20

{
   "enableEmoji": true,
   "menus": {
      "main": [
         {
            "name": "About",
            "pageRef": "/about",
            "post": ":point_left:",
            "pre": ":point_right:",
            "weight": 10
         },
         {
            "name": "Contact",
            "pageRef": "/contact",
            "post": ":arrow_left:",
            "pre": ":arrow_right:",
            "weight": 20
         }
      ]
   }
}

To render the menu:

<ul>
  {{ range .Site.Menus.main }}
    <li>
      {{ .Pre | markdownify }}
      <a href="{{ .URL }}">{{ .Name }}</a>
      {{ .Post | markdownify }}
    </li>
  {{ end }}
</ul>

The pre and post values of menu entries defined in front matter are HTML escaped unless text/html is allowed in the allowContent security policy. Menu entries defined in your project configuration are not escaped.
