2 = TMENU
2.NO {
    allStdWrap {
        # Show only if current-page-id and menu-item-parent_id match
        if {
            value.data = TSFE:id
            equals.field = pid
        }
    }
    stdWrap {
        # Put the register content before the linktext
        dataWrap = {register:level1Title}: |
    }
    # Wrap the item
    allWrap = <li>|</li>
}

This is the way it is meant to be since page:whatever always contains data
from the current page record itself, while field=title uses another "focus"
when used inside an HMENU and will be containing data from the page record
currently rendered in the menu.
