19499,Allow wp_nav_menu to return just the links (no <li> tags),nohalfpixels,nohalfpixels,"every now and again i find im in the need of the wp_nav_menu function where i only want a list if links, not the outer ul, or the li tags.

there is already scope to remove the outer ul.

but no support for removing the <li> tags from the returned results.

at present i have to do this:


{{{
$foot_nav = wp_nav_menu( array( 'container' => '', 'echo' => '0', 'theme_location' => 'footer_menu' ) );
$foot_nav2 = preg_replace( array( '#^<ul[^>]*>#', '#</ul>$#' ), '', $foot_nav );
$foot_nav2 = preg_replace( array( '#<li[^>]*>#', '#</li>$#' ), '', $foot_nav2 );
echo $foot_nav2;
}}}



this isnt very clean, it would be nice to just be able to pass a parameter the wp_nav_menu function which just returns the links.

i propose something like:


{{{
'return_links' => true,
}}}



the main reason for this is styling centered links in the footer.

its much easier to just center links than it is to center a <ul> and results in much cleaner html with less dom elements.",enhancement,new,normal,Awaiting Review,Menus,3.2.1,normal,,reporter-feedback,
