I’m using this code as navigation of my site but there’s a slight flaw.  
For example, when the page is one of the children of page ruby, r:here  
won’t be active. Any ideas?

It works, partially.  
My index page is / and other pages are like /page/, so with current  
settings index page’s and other page’s links are both selected when user  
is in other page. Possible solution could be having /home/ or something  
like that as default page, but how do I do that?

Right. That’s because the home page is the parent of the other pages. So  
the home page will always be rendered with selected or here. For now the  
best fix is to use two navigation tags. Something like this:
