{{ matuck_menu_render('main') }}
{{ matuck_menu_render('main', 'matuckMenuBundle::bootstrapmenuright.html.twig') }}

Main is the name of the root menu you want to show. The Second parameter can be deleted but allows you to pass a template file for rendering the menu. The bundle includes two template files. bootstrapmenu.html.twig and bootstrapmenuright.html.twig. By creating your own template and passing it you can design the menus however you want., _(*12)
