+A section menu is highlighted if its path is a prefix of the path of the
+current page. For example, the section menu path `/foo/` matches the
+pages `content/foo/_index.md`, `content/foo/bar.md`, and
+`content/foo/bar/_index.md`. The section menu path `/` only matches the
+page `content/_index.md`.

 date.
