Put <span> and id inside txp:section

Hi everyone,

I’m new to Textpattern but very excited about it.
I created my first navigation menu on the left of my page like this:
<ul id=“navlist”> <txp:section wraptag=“li” link=1 title=1 name=“Home” /> <txp:section wraptag=“li” link=1 title=1 name=“Books” />
…
</ul>

I would need to apply a <span> tag in some of the items and an a different id to all of them. Here is a working html example:
<li><a href=”#” id=“books”><span class=“booksItalicIndent”>Books</span></a></li>

How do I apply the id and the span to the list items in Textpattern?

Thanks very much for your help.

Thanks Gocom,

That worked perfectly. But how about including the id as well? The id is to show the current page in this case.

Cheers

Hi Sven,

That did not work. I got the span to work as per the previous answer, but I can’t work out the id with the current setup:

<li><txp:section name=“Home”>Home</txp:section></li>

Do I have to use href again? I used it before and had problems to link to the sections.

Any advice would be good.

Cheers

Can this be what you’re aiming at?

Hello Otti. If you can’t find an appropriate solution, give a look at the ako_nav plugin. I’m using it all the time for basic nav menu, and it’s also pretty configurable (lets you insert span or not, give class and id, use class=active for actual section, etc.).

Hope this help
