If you install one or more Joomla! extensions, these extensions may add new Menu Item Types. In this case,
your list will have additional types.
Menu Item Types
Menu Item Types are organized into four groups: Internal Link, External Link, Separator, and Alias.
Internal Links are the most commonly used and will display pages on your web site. External Links are used
to display links to external web sites. Separators are used to place a graphic or other separator between
menu options. Alias Item Types are used to point back to an already existing Menu Item.
Internal Link - Articles
When the Articles link is selected, it expands to show the options shown below.
