By default it returns `.Page.LinkTitle`, as long as the menu entry was created through the page's front matter and not through the site config. Setting it explicitly in the site config or the page's front matter overrides this behaviour. .Page : [Page Object](/variables/page/) The `.Page` variable holds a reference to the page. It's only set when the menu entry is created from the page's front matter, not when it's created from the site config. .Menu : string .Identifier : string .Pre : template.HTML .Post : template.HTML .Weight : int .Parent : string .Children : Menu [menu template]: /templates/menu-templates/
