Thanks for the other (useful) info. But, here, your answer is not adequate as
I don't want to have almost identical information duplicated in each page of
my site. Just imagine the pain it is if I want to change the structure (adding
a new page in my menu -- I have to update all my pages!).

The trick I used with Muse was to make that automatically computed:

    o   having a menu defined only once;

    o   per page, adding the `current' keyword on the adequate item --
        automatically done by the above function.

Adding a page in my Web site means just updating one variable: the menu
definition. Nothing more to do...

Is there, then, a similar solution?  Or, at least, one achieving the same
results by other means?

Best regards,
  Seb
