Menu File Structure

The menu for each manual is stored in a JSON format file in the root of the default language manual. There is also a folder names file stored in JSON format. Both are shown below. The menus for secondary languages use the default language for structure but take the article titles from the articles themselves and the folder names from a language-specific folder names file in JSON format.
