    <table>
      <thead>
        <tr>
          <th>Field name</th>
          <th>Explanation</th>
          <th>Example value</th>
        </tr>
      </thead>
      <tbody>
        <tr>
          <td>Menu link title</td>
          <td>Title that will be displayed in the menu</td>
          <td>About</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td>Description</td>
          <td>Text that will be displayed when a visitor hovers over the link</td>
          <td>History of the market</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td>Parent link</td>
          <td>Location of the page in the menu hierarchy. For example, if you choose _&lt;Main navigation&gt;_, the page will appear in the highest level of the navigation. By choosing another menu link as parent, you can create a menu hierarchy of multiple levels.</td>
          <td>&lt;Main navigation&gt;</td>
          <td>Weight</td>
          <td>The order in which the page should appear in the menu (lower-weighted</td>
        </tr>
      </tbody>
    </table>
