- {{% badge style="info" icon="plus-circle" title=" " %}}New{{% /badge %}} The menu configuration for the main menu area, [introduced in 7.1.0](introduction/releasenotes/7/1), is extended to the non-scrolling menu header area between search box and main scrolling area using the `sidebarheadermenus` option and to the menu footer area using the `sidebarfootermenus` option.
The [configuration for all sidebar menus](/configuration/sidebar/menus#defining-sidebar-menus) is similar and now comes with two new types of menus.
The `divider` type adds a horizontal ruler.
The `custom` type allows to insert any HTML snippets into the menu. The HTML must be wrapped in a `li` element to not break HTML validation. The theme ships with the following snippets:
-`languageswitcher`: will display the language switcher
-`variantswitcher`: will display the variant switcher
-`historyclearer`: will display a button to clear the history of visited links
