Thanx for this gist, it help me a lot, but how can I also use the current-menu-item class in the

?

@lonchbox - To allow a class for the current menu item, change the first line in start_el() to something like:

$output .= '<li'.($item->current ? ' class="current"':'').'>';

great stuff!! thanx for that...
is there a possibility of adding the level nr. ?

ok found it :)
just added to the li output from smhmic

 'level-' . $depth . 

(just dont know how to post a code here in github comment field :))

Hi,

Thank you for the code. But I can't insert new classes in css classes (optional)

where do I put this 0n ?
