Appending and Prepending Html
=============================

You can append and prepend html outside of the `ul` tag with similarly named functions. This is useful for submenu titles or separators.

```
Menu::new()
    ->prepend('Title')
    ->add(Link::to('/title/subpage', 'Subpage'))
    ->append('');
```

```
Title

        Subpage

```

If you only want to add html in certain conditions, you can use `appendIf` and `prependIf`.

```
$displayTitles = false;
$displayRulers = true;

Menu::new()
    ->prependIf($displayTitles, 'Title')
    ->add(Link::to('/title/subpage', 'Subpage'))
    ->appendIf($displayRulers, '');
```

You can also wrap the menu in an element.

```
Menu::new()->wrap('div', ['class' => 'nav']);
```

```

```
