Hi Martin.
A typical way to do this in previous Tapestry versions is to have
some simple logic functions in your component class to provide a
boolean result ("this link is to the current page") which is used
for each link's disabled parameter, and to select a string supplied
to an informal CSS "style" parameter on each link.
T5 would be the same, except that the core PageLink component needs
a few tweaks to be fit for your task - so roll your own from that -
and you will have to create an equivalent of the old getPageName().
In general, use HTML templating whenever practical, as this is the
natural format in which to express HTML structure. Then leave the
fine-tuning of the runtime HTML to existing or home-grown components.
Cheers,
Nick.
