46   <li id="portaltab-news" class="plain"><a href="http://example.com/news" accesskey="t">News</a></li>
47   <li id="portaltab-events" class="plain"><a href="http://example.com/events" accesskey="t">Events</a>
48       <ul>
49           <li><a href="http://example.com/events/previous">Past Events</a><li>

57You can click  button on 'drop down menu' configlet form to reset menu.
58This can be usefull in case  broken html of menu code. Generated code is based
59on status of 'Automatically generate tabs' in your 'Navigation settings'
60(in Plone 2.1+). However you will lose your previous code of menu with all submenus
61after click on 'regenerate menu'.
62
63If you want to 'regenerate menu' you should pay attention to status of
64'Automatically generate tabs' in your 'Navigation settings' (in Plone 2.1+).
