Component body
The menu system allows menus to be nested under parent menu items. Every menu item is required to define a destination, including items that exist only to contain other menu items.
This module, inspired by system_admin_menu, allows parent menu items to generate a link page. The link page includes the menu title and description for child entries. The title includes a link to the menu destination.

Once the module is turned on, the menu itself is used to invoke the module.
In the Edit Menu Link screen, set the Path to menu_auto_display/menu_link_title
where "menu_link_title" follows the usual rules for machine name specification.
For example, the Menu link title of "About us" is set to use the Path
"menu_auto_display/about_us" to automatically display a link page. Everything
else is set up as usual.
To view the generated page, click the parent menu link instead of following the
dropdown. Using the same example, click on the "About us" menu entry instead of
a child entry. The generated page will show the child menu links shown to the
user, each with its menu description.
The README.TXT file includes step-by-step instructions to generate the displayed screenshot from the menu definitions.
If menu entries are restricted, they are only shown to users with sufficient permissions.
