+## External Navigation Links
+
+To add external links to the navigation, add them to the `nav_external_links` [configuration]({{ site.baseurl }}{% link docs/configuration.md %}) option in your site's `_config.yml` file.
+External links will appear under all other items in the listing order.
+
+#### Example
+
+{: .no_toc }
+
+```yaml
+# External navigation links
+nav_external_links:
+ - title: Just the Docs on GitHub
+ url: https://github.com/just-the-docs/just-the-docs
+ hide_icon: false # set to true to hide the external link icon - defaults to false
+```

## In-page navigation with Table of Contents
To generate a Table of Contents on your docs pages, you can use the `{:toc}` method from Kramdown, immediately after an `` in Markdown. This will automatically generate an ordered list of anchor links to various sections of the page based on headings and heading levels. There may be occasions where you're using a heading and you don't want it to show up in the TOC, so to skip a particular heading use the `{: .no_toc }` CSS class.
