navigation.indexes and sidebar naming?

[nina-j]

It looks like navigation.indexes defaults to proper casing the folder name when relying on folder structure rather than a nav: specification.

Example:

site_name: mysite
site_dir: public
use_directory_urls: false

theme:
  name: "material"
  features:
    - navigation.top
    - navigation.tabs
    - navigation.indexes

where http-clients/index.md has

---
title: HTTP Client Consistency
---
stuff

Is it possible to change this behaviour via e.g. custom JS? We're using a CMS on top of our page that relies on this folder structure.

That's the default behavior of MkDocs when you don't specify nav explicitly and not specific to Material for MkDocs. As far as I understand, MkDocs will title-case the folder names. This shouldn't have anything to do with navigation.indexes.

Understood, thanks! I guess I'd hoped the title would be inherited from the index page, but I understand why that doesn't happen. I'll look into overriding it locally to match our needs.
