[TYPO3-english] Special content in submenu

[Tyler Kraft]

Hi

It's great, I've used it to build all kinds of things.

When you think about it slightly abstractly a menu is just a list of 
records in the beginning. So using the stdWrap (and all tis different 
properties, including the ability to return a list from a select) on the 
'value' of the HMENU 'special' property you can load your menu with just 
about any list of numbers. And then using the before and after 
properties for menu items you can render just about anything you want, 
from any table you want and in any layout you want, with any additional 
functionality you want (eg javascript calls, etc)

And if you want your users to be able to use this menu you can even 
define it into the sitemap/menu CType for them.
