I want to create a menu that looks like:

HOME | FOO | BAR | ABOUT | CONTACT

How might I go about doing this?

Here is what I have tried:

<lift:Menu.builder ul:class="menu" li_item:class="current" />

and

ul.menu li {
   display: inline;
   list-style-type: none;
   text-transform: uppercase;
   border-right: 1px solid white;
   padding-right: 5px;
}

li.current span {
   background: white;
   color: black; 
   padding: 5px 5px 3px 5px;
   font-size: 11px;
}

li.current a, a:visited, a:link {
   color: white; 
   padding: 5px 5px 3px 5px;
   font-size: 11px;
}

This gets close, but it doesn't look quite right. Also you end up with an extra line at the end. I want the lines to be the same height as the text.
