Instalation

Usage

Plase this code in template:

  {% link /contacts/ Contacts %}

It will be converted into this HTML on any page exepct contacts:

  <a href="/contacts/">Contacts</a>

Extra class will be added in attributes on the contacts page:

  <a href="/contacts/" class="current">Contacts</a>

Parent links will be marked with current class too. For example we have to pages /about and subpage /about/author and template like this:

 <ul>
   <li>
     {% link /about/ About %}
     <ul>
       <li>{% link /about/author Author %}
     </ul>
   </li>
 </ul>

On the /about/author all links will be generated as this:

 <ul>
   <li>
     <a href="/about/" class="current">About</a>
     <ul>
       <li><a href="/about/author" class="current">Author</a>
     </ul>
   </li>
 </ul>
