Getting Started

Formatting HTML

Using Bonsai is easy as long as you feed it correctly formmated markup to consume. By default, each expandable item should have a 'folder' class, contain atleast one anchor tag and optionally have child folders. Each anchor tag should have the i tags displayed below and contain a title.

    <div class="bonsai">
        <ul class="section">
          <li class="folder">
            <a class="" href=""><i class="icon-caret-right"></i><i class="icon-doctype icon-columns"></i>Templates<i class="icon-chevron-sign-right"></i></a>
            <ul class="section">
              <li class="folder">
                <a class="" href=""><i class="icon-caret-right"></i><i class="icon-folder icon-doctype icon-folder-close"></i>Navigation<i class="icon-chevron-sign-right"></i></a>
