Ways to style CURRENT category menu choice?

Is there a way to style the category menu choice of the current page (i.e., the one that is currently displayed) so that CSS can be used to emphasize the user's place in menu navigation? Just a way to style the category menu so that it reflects what's shown in the breadcrumb trail.

Is plain old HTML pages, all you need to do is this:

And then to emphasize the current choice:

li.selected {
color:red;
background: yellow;
}

Can't see any obvious way to do this in ZC. I'm using Categories Dressing, which is just perfect for the rest of the menu styling. But there doesn't seem to be any way to target the current page so that the menu choice for it can be emphasized.

TIA for your suggestions!

It is easier for us to look at possibilities with a URL.

These lines in stylesheet_categories_dressing.css can be modified to indicate the current category path:```
/change bullet when a category w/o bg image is open to subs:/
#categories li a.cat-parent-text {
list-style: square inside url(../images/bullet2.gif);/change to list-style: none; to remove bullet/
}

/change bullet when a category w/o bg image is open to products:/
#categories li a.cat-selected-text {
list-style: square inside url(../images/bullet3.gif);/change to list-style: none; to remove bullet/
}

Site is not live, but here's the problem:

Thank you! I knew it was in there - it just wasn't clear to me exactly how to target it.

I'm going to have to play around with the cascade to see if I can just get the CURRENT link to style differently. Right now, I have the all of the category listings in the link path styled to reflect "where you are" to the user, but I have to make just the LAST link distinctive.

Thanks again for your help!

#categories li a.cat-selected-text {} can only apply to the immediate selected category (since it is open to products), but
#categories li a.cat-parent-text {} can apply to the selected category or to any of its parents. Not sure at the moment if there is a handle to distinguish between those cases.
