You're right. The O'Reilly HTML & XHTML Definitive Guide sent me down
the wrong path there.

This is menu/nest,

[%  DEFAULT pad =3D '';
    DEFAULT level =3D 1;

    FOREACH item =3D menu.items;
        pad;

        UNLESS notoplevel && level =3D=3D 1;
            INCLUDE menu/text
                link =3D {
                   text     =3D item.name
                   url      =3D item.url
                   class    =3D item.hot ? 'menuselect' : 'menu'
                 };
        END;

        IF item.subs && !norecur;
            INCLUDE menu/nest
              level =3D level + 1
              menu =3D item
              pad  =3D pad ? ""
                         : "";
        END;

    END
-%]

which uses menu/text,

[% IF loop.first %]
<ul>
[%- END -%]

<li [% IF loop.first %]class=3D"first"[%- END -%] [% IF loop.last &&
!loop.first %]class=3D"last"[%- END -%]><a href=3D"[% link.url %]"
[%- " class=3D\"$link.class\""
  IF link.class
-%]><span>[%- link.text -%] </span></a></li>
[% IF loop.last %]
</ul>
[%- END -%]

Maybe I shouldn't be using this example at all to do this?
