The standard main navigation for Wolf's default layouts has the “current” styling added to the anchor tag. (In the “Wolf” layout, this code is in the layout itself; in the “Simple” layout, it is in the “header” snippet.) Often, however, styles require the “current” class to be attached to the <li …> tag, rather than the anchor.

This code is Wolf's default navigation, but with the simple transformation of styling the li tag:

  <div id="nav">
    <ul>
      <li<?php echo url_match('/') ? ' class="current"': ''; ?>><a href="<?php echo
URL_PUBLIC; ?>">Home</a></li>
<?php foreach($this->find('/')->children() as $menu): ?>
      <li<?php echo in_array($menu->slug, explode('/', $this->url)) ? '
class="current"': null; ?>><?php echo $menu->link($menu->title); ?></li>
<?php endforeach; ?> 
    </ul>
  </div> <!-- end #navigation -->
