title: Show left navigation/quick launch in sharepoint 2013 master page
body: <p>I have created a custom master page. Now the problem is that it is not showing the left side nav box / quick launch bar which is active in case of built in master pages like seattle.</p>
  
  <p>Wanted to know how to add this left side navigation bar to master page.</p>
  
  <p>Edit:
  Also added following from OSLO but nothing happens</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div id="sideNavBox" class="ms-dialogHidden ms-forceWrap ms-noList"&gt;
  &lt;a id="startNavigation" name="startNavigation" tabIndex="-1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
  &lt;!--SPM:&lt;SharePoint:AjaxDelta id="DeltaPlaceHolderLeftNavBar" Visible="true" class="ms-core-navigation ms-belltown-sideNavDelta" BlockElement="true" runat="server"&gt;--&gt;
