I'm trying to do something which I think should be pretty straightforward,
but I'm having trouble pinning down the exact syntax and would appreciate
any tips:

I have a static navigation menu consisting of a basic list. The list should
'know' which page it is on and display that particular list item with it's
own class to indicate it as the current page. For example:

<li class = "default">Unselected page</li>
<li class = "selected">Current page</li>
<li class = "default">Unselected page</li>

I would like to be able to do something along the lines of the following
pseudo-code:

<li class = "defaultClass" tal:attributes="class 'if route_name = this_route
return selectedClass else return default'">

I've referred to
http://chameleon.repoze.org/docs/latest/reference.html#tal-attributes and
also http://www.owlfish.com/software/simpleTAL/tal-guide.html. However, I
can't quite find the syntax I want. Is there a way to achieve this simply,
or am I going about it the wrong way?

I understand that I can wrap the <li>s in <tal:condition>, but this seems
cumbersome.

Thanks,
Ben
