Directory menu - menu of subpages 

A HMENU of type special = directory lets you create a menu listing the subpages of one or more parent pages.

The parent pages are defined in the property special.value .

This menu type can be used, for example, to display all subpages of a certain page as meta menu or footer menu.

Mount pages are supported.

Example: Menu of all subpages 

The content element Menu > Subpages provided by the system extension EXT:fluid_styled_content is configured with a MenuProcessor which is based on the options of the HMENU and provides all its properties:

EXT:fluid_styled_content/Configuration/TypoScript/ContentElement/MenuSubpages.typoscript 
# Menu of subpages of selected pages:
# ...
#
# CType: menu_subpages

tt_content.menu_subpages =< lib.contentElement
tt_content.menu_subpages {
    templateName = MenuSubpages
    dataProcessing {
        10 = menu
        10 {
            special = directory
            special.value.field = pages
            dataProcessing {
                10 = files
                10 {
                    references.fieldName = media
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

The following Fluid template can be used to style the menu:

EXT:fluid_styled_content/Resources/Private/Templates/MenuSubpages.html 
<html xmlns:f="http://typo3.org/ns/TYPO3/CMS/Fluid/ViewHelpers" data-namespace-typo3-fluid="true">
<f:layout name="Default" />
<f:section name="Main">

    <f:if condition="{menu}">
        <ul>
            <f:for each="{menu}" as="page">
                <li>
                    <a href="{page.link}"{f:if(condition: page.target, then: ' target="{page.target}"')}{f:if(condition: page.current, then: ' aria-current="page"')} title="{page.title}">
                        <span>{page.title}</span>
                    </a>
                </li>
