+  # == This helper renders the navigation.
+  #
+  # It produces a html <ul><li></li></ul> structure with all necessary classes and ids so you can produce every navigation the web uses today.
+  # I.E. dropdown-navigations, simple mainnavigations or even complex nested ones.
+  # 
+  # === En detail:
+  # 
+  # <ul class="navigation_level_1">
+  #   <li class="first home"><a href="/home" class="active" title="Homepage" lang="en" data-page-id="1">Homepage</a></li>
+  #   <li class="contact"><a href="/contact" title="Contact" lang="en" data-page-id="2">Contact</a></li>
+  #   <li class="last imprint"><a href="/imprint" title="Imprint" lang="en" data-page-id="3">Imprint</a></li>
+  # </ul>
+  #
+  # As you can see: Everything you need.
+  #
+  # Not pleased with the way Alchemy produces the navigation structure?
+  # Then feel free to overwrite the partials (_renderer.html.erb and _link.html.erb) found in +views/navigation/+ or pass different partials via the options +:navigation_partial+ and +:navigation_link_partial+.
+  #
+  # === The options are:
+  #
+  #   :submenu => false                                     Do you want a nested <ul> <li> structure for the deeper levels of your navigation, or not? Used to display the subnavigation within the mainnaviagtion. E.g. for dropdown menues.
+  #   :all_sub_menues => false
+  #   :from_page => @root_page                              Do you want to render a navigation from a different page then the current page? Then pass an Page instance or a Alchemy::PageLayout name as string.
+  #   :spacer => ""                                         Yeah even a spacer for the entries can be passed. Simple string, or even a complex html structure. E.g: "<span class='spacer'>|</spacer>". Only your imagination is the limit. And the W3C of course :)
+  #   :navigation_partial => "navigation/renderer"          Pass a different partial to be taken for the navigation rendering. CAUTION: Only for the advanced Alchemy webdevelopers. The standard partial takes care of nearly everything. But maybe you are an adventures one ^_^
+  #   :navigation_link_partial => "navigation/link"         Alchemy places an <a> html link in <li> tags. The tag automatically has an active css class if necessary. So styling is everything. But maybe you don't want this. So feel free to make you own partial and pass the filename here.
+  #   :show_nonactive => false                              Commonly Alchemy only displays the submenu of the active page (if :submenu => true). If you want to display all child pages then pass true (together with :submenu => true of course). E.g. for the popular css-driven dropdownmenues these days.
+  #   :show_title => true                                   For our beloved SEOs :). Appends a title attribute to all links and places the page.title content into it.
+  #   :restricted_only => nil                               Render only restricted pages.
+  #   :show_title => true                                   Show a title on navigation links. Title attribute from page.
+  #   :reverse => false                                     Reverse the navigation
+  #   :reverse_children => false                            Reverse the nested children
