The Standalone section of a menu is for the sections like Login Box, Raid Progression, Currently Recruiting, Ventrilo Status, and the like, including custom HTML. Instead of being a list of links, like the majority of the menus, the Stand alone section is simply a block set aside for a bunch of HTML to be inserted (in a way, it's like the
<!--System:Content--> command).
To use the Stand alone section (and it is imperative that you do), you'll need to use three commands
<!--Menu:StartStandAlone-->
<!--Menu:StandAloneContent-->
<!--Menu:EndStandAlone-->
Like the
<!--Menu:StartItemList--> and
<!--Menu:EndItemList--> commands, the
<!--Menu:StartStandAlone--> and
<!--Menu:EndStandAlone> functions will only display their contents if there actually is standalone content visible.
If needed, you can place formatting around the
<!--Menu:StandAloneContent--> command, like the following.
<!--Menu:StartStandAlone-->
<div class=standalone>
<!--Menu:StandAloneContent-->
</div>
<!--Menu:EndStandAlone-->
In that example, the <div></div> will only show if there is actually standalone content.
For example, lets say we're showing the Ventrilo Status menu, we get the following using the above example.
<div class=standalone>
<div class=onlinenotification style="font-size:7pt;text-align:center">
