generating "selected" list entry for nav

[Barry]

I have a fairly common use case and am looking for a neat solution...

There's a list for the website navigation, and the current page link
is <li class="selected"> to highlight it in the menu. What's the
tahcheeic way of doing this?

Example - for index.html it should do this:

<li class="selected"><a href="index.html">home</a></li>
<li><a href="contact.html">contact</a></li>
<li><a href="login.html">login</a></li>

and for contact.html it should set the class for that list item...

I can think of various ways of doing it in tahchee, but I'm wondering
if anyone has the neatest way that I've probably not found yet...

thanks!

I personally use the following way:
- In a template page:
<li
#if $page.name() == "index.html"
class="selected"#end if

><a href="index.html">home</a></li>
<li

#if $page.name() == "contact.html"
class="selected"#end if

><a href="contact.html">contact</a></li>

- Then, index.html and contact.html pages should extend this template.

But I don't know if it is neatest way for doing this...
