[Radiant] How to make <r:navigation.. keep "here" class on li

[Loren Johnson]

Yes I'm currently employing the selected tag under navigation, here  
is my current navigation code:

<ul>
<r:navigation urls="Home: /; Office: /diocesan-office; Ministries: / 
ministries; Spirituality: /spirituality; News: /news; Calendar: / 
calendar; Directory: /directory; Church Finder: /church-finder">
   <r:normal><li><a href="<r:url />"><r:title /></a></li></r:normal>
   <r:here><li class="here"><r:title /></li></r:here>
   <r:selected><li><a href="<r:url />"><r:title /></a></li></r:selected>
</r:navigation>
</ul>

This works fine if I a page is simply a child of a listed url,  
however if a page is a grandchild, great-grandchild, etc. then the  
parent/grandparent link is no longer in a selected state (I should  
have made that clearer).

See this link for a screenshot which shows the News "tab" currently   
selected:

http://www.fn-group.com/clients/diopa/diopa_news.jpg

On this page tag/page you'll see a series of links under the heading  
"Bishop's Column" (November Article, December Article, etc.) If you  
were to click on December Article for instance the breadcrumb would  
read "Home > News > Bishop's Column > December Article" and the News  
"tab" should still be currently selected (though right now it  
wouldn't be).

I think I've looked at the code for the navigation tag closely enough  
to now know that this isn't an option as-is.

Are any additional options within the navigation control currently on  
the table? I would think that building-in some sort of option such as  
"selected_if_grandchild" could have universal application. If not,  
what would be my next best option?

Has anyone else dealt with this sort of nav scheme in Radiant yet?

Thanks,

Loren
