Summary

The addlinks function is a generalised interface to adding a top of the page menu - you specify a general category into which the page you're writing falls, and it adds an appropriate selection of the standard menus.

Availability

addlinks has been available in perl for sometime and was newly added to the php implementation in Wacs release 0.8.4. In general, unless you're trying to create a php app that blends in with the standard Wacs tools, you'll probably want to use your own menu mechanism when using PHP.
