Hello all,  
Another n00b question for you guys.  
I’m trying to generate a list block of all the published children of  
my home page.  
I’m assuming, via the UsingRadiant page on the wiki, that I need to use:  
\<r:navigation urls="[Title: url; Title: url; …]"\>  
\<r:normal\>\<r:title /\>\</r:normal\>  
\<r:here\> **\<r:title /\>** \</r:here\>  
\<r:selected\>**\<r:title  
/\>**\</r:selected\>  
\<r:between\> | \</r:between\>  
\</r:navigation\>

First, what should I be putting in the “Title: url” section? Somethign  
about r:children?  
Second, I don’t understand what the r:normal, r:here and r:selected  
stuff are doing. Shouldn’t that be rendering different “class=” or  
something?

Is there anywhere else on the wiki that talks about this?  
Thanks  
BJ Clark

r:normal is the nav element display when that element is not related to  
the active page.  
r:here is the nav element display when that element is for the active  
page.  
r:selected is the nav element display when that element is a parent of  
the  
active page

Depending the sort of menu you want to output you can use li tags  
without  
separator and with class attribute.  
Here an example :

- 
- 
- 

You can use simple text with no specific class :  
\<r:navigation urls=“English: /en/; Srpski: /sr/”\>  
\<r:normal\>\<r:title /\>\</r:normal\>  
\<r:here\>\<r:title /\>\</r:here\>  
\<r:selected\>\<r:title /\>\</r:selected\>  
\<r:between\> | \</r:between\>  
\</r:navigation\>

Last an example where the here and selected and not the same :

- 
- 
- 

As it is not possible to order the children of a page it is probably  
best  
to explicitly put the list of links as in the examples above.
