# Introduction {#introduction}

This extension has been created, because the native "create multiple pages" wizard is too limiting.
When a full sitemap is already available, this extension enables you to import it in one go.

## What does it do? {#what-it-does}

The extension allows to import an existing sitemap in a single run.
The wizard simply need the page tree structure, indented with space, tab or dots.
Moreover, each line may include additional fields to import, like a subtitle.
C-style comments (single and multi line) as well as empty lines are ignored.

## Examples {#examples}

A simple page tree:

```text
Startpage
 Products
 Solutions
 Company
 Privacy
```

Pages with additional fields:

Additional fields: "keywords doktype"
Separation character: "!"

```text
Startpage!productA, company name!1
 Products!!1
 Solutions!!1
 Company!!1
 Privacy!!1
 Customer!!199
```
