or grayed out or inactivated, e.g. a nav bar link is 
not actually a link when it would send you to the
same page the link is on (if you know what i mean)

XSSI extended server side includes, using logic 
like "if this is this page, show text, else a link"

example:

   <!--#if expr="$thisis = /home/" -->Home
      <!--#else --><a href="home.html">Home</a><!--#endif -->
   <!--#if expr="$thisis = /products/" -->Products
      <!--#else --><a href="products.html">Products</a><!--#endif -->
   <!--#if expr="$thisis = /faq/" -->FAQ
      <!--#else --><a href="faq.html">FAQ</a><!--#endif -->
   <!--#if expr="$thisis = /contact/" -->Contact
      <!--#else --><a href="contact.html">Contact</a><!--#endif -->

for the above to work, you need to set a variable at the top of each page,
but it's always the same line, so it can also go in an inlcude file --

    <!--#set var="thisis" value="${DOCUMENT_NAME}" -->
