Navigation Links
The header navigation bar displays your logo, external links, and social media icons.
Logo and Banner
<bannerLeft>
Display your logo on the left side of the navigation bar.
Maven Site Plugin 4.x
The current syntax uses attributes for name and href, plus an <image> sub-element:
<bannerLeft name="My Organization" href="https://example.com">
<image src="images/logo.png" alt="My Organization Logo"/>
</bannerLeft>
See the Doxia Site Model[1] for complete reference.
Maven Site Plugin 3.x
The legacy syntax uses direct child elements (still supported for backward compatibility):
<bannerLeft>
<name>My Organization</name>
<href>https://example.com</href>
<src>images/logo.png</src>
<alt>My Organization Logo</alt>
</bannerLeft>
Both syntaxes are fully supported. Use the 4.x syntax for new projects.
Logo requirements:
- Height: 40-80px (resized to 40px)
- Format: PNG with transparent background
- Colors: Light (for contrast with dark bar)
Text alternative (if no logo image):
<bannerLeft>
<name>My Organization</name>
<href>https://example.com</href>
</bannerLeft>
<bannerRight>
Same options as <bannerLeft>, displayed on the right side.
