'''name''': A unique ID for the nav template that no other nav template has. It has to be unique and it can't have any special characters like commas, parenthesis, colons, ect. And it can't have any spaces. This is required to make sure it behaves correctly. If two nav templates that use this template are placed on the same page with the same name ID, they will not behave correctly. It also prevents possible bugs with other toggling functions.
