[Radiant] Drop down menus?

[Sean Cribbs]

There are two tags that you'll be interested in, and I'll let you figure 
out where to place them.  The first is <r:if_self> which will output its 
contents if the local page (within an iteration) is the same as the 
global page (the one rendering).
The second is <r:if_ancestor_or_self> which will do the same but also 
renders if the local page is an ancestor of the global page.  You should 
be able to use these to accomplish the same effect as <r:here> and 
<r:selected> in the navigation tag.
