I used to recommend the <r:navigation> tag, but nowadays, I'm thinking
body-ids combined with some dynamic CSS might work best. I might do
something like this in the layout:
<body id="page_<r:id />">
Then in a separate (Radiant-stored) stylesheet, I would do something like this:
<r:find url="/">
<r:snippet name="page_menu_highlight" />
</r:find>
Then in the snippet named "page_menu_highlight":
#page_<r:id/> #link_to_<r:id/> { font-weight: bold; } // or whatever
you want to use to highlight.
<r:children:each>
<r:snippet name="page_menu_highlight" />
</r:children:each>
Then when generating your menu items, set the id on each item to
#link_to_<r:id/>.
If you have pretty much static menu options, <r:navigation/> is
arguably better, however.
