Feature request: wp_link_pages() needs support for formatting the current page

[archon810]

To follow up my previous feature request #21001, it would be super to see a way to style/format the current page, because it could look different compared to links to other pages (for example ">> Page % <<"). An option called currentpagelink seems fitting.

#13578

[archon810]

@ocean90 I appreciate closing #21001 in favor of #13578, but #13578 doesn't currently have the request in this ticket (current page styling) as part of its scope, so I'd like to either keep it open or modify #13578 to include this feature (though then it'll be at the mercy of the ticket author). Please close again if you feel strongly about the latter.

In my themes I do not just use a special class, I replace the link with an unlinked number, because a link to the current page is useless here. For backwards compatibility I recommend an empty a element that could be set per parameter:

$defaults = array(
	'current_page_element' => 'a', /* more parameters */
	);
…

if ( $i === $page )
    $output .= '<' . $r['current_page_element'] 
        . ' title="' . __( 'You are here. ' ) . '">' . $i
        . '</' . $r['current_page_element'] . '>';

Closing as wontfix. Complete lack of interest on the feature on the ticket over the last 3 years. Feel free to reopen when more interest re-emerges (particularly if there's a patch)
