   Hi!
   I read this post about this matter in a single list, and it works fine. But I was wondering how it's possible to make several post-lists with the highlight-function.

   the code to highlight the title of the post showing on the single-post-page:
   

   <ul class="sidebar-ul">
   <?php
   
   $IDOutsideLoop = $post->ID;
   global $post;
   
   $myposts = get_posts('showposts=5');
   foreach($myposts as $post) :
   ?>
   
   <li <?php
   if(is_single() && $IDOutsideLoop == $post->ID) 
   
   {
   echo " class=\"current\"";
   }
   ?>>
   <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
   
   <?php endforeach; ?>
   
   </ul>

   I use this code to show multiple lists:
   

   // FIRST LOOP: display posts 1 thru 5
   <?php query_posts('showposts=5'); ?>
   <?php $posts = get_posts('numberposts=5&offset=0'); foreach ($posts as $post) : start_wp(); ?>
   <?php static $count1 = 0; if ($count1 == "5") { break; } else { ?>
   
   <?php the_title(); ?>
   <?php the_content(); ?>
   
   <?php $count1++; } ?>
   <?php endforeach; ?>
   
   // SECOND LOOP: display posts 6 thru 10
   <?php query_posts('showposts=5'); ?>
   <?php $posts = get_posts('numberposts=5&offset=5'); foreach ($posts as $post) : start_wp(); ?>
   <?php static $count2 = 0; if ($count2 == "5") { break; } else { ?>
   
   <?php the_title(); ?>
   <?php the_content(); ?>
   
   <?php $count2++; } ?>
   <?php endforeach; ?>

   Little confused by the 2 differing pieces of code you posted, but here's a refined version of the second chunk, adjust the code as required.

   <?php
   $poststoshow = 5;
   if(is_single()) { $currentpost = get_the_ID(); }
   
   $posts = get_posts('numberposts='.$poststoshow); ?>
   <ul>
   <?php
   foreach ($posts as $post) { 
   
   	setup_postdata($post);
   	static $count1 = 0; 
   
   	if ($count1 == "5") {
   		break;
   	}
   	else { ?>
   		<li<?php if($currentpost == $post->ID) { echo ' class="current"'; } ?>><?php the_title();?></li>
   		<?php
   		//the_content();
   		$count1++;
   	}
   } ?>
   </ul>
   <?php
   unset($posts);
   $posts = get_posts('numberposts='.$poststoshow.'&offset='.$count1);
   ?>
   <ul>
   <?php
   foreach ($posts as $post) {
   
   	setup_postdata($post);
   	static $count2 = 0;
   	if ($count2 == "5") {
   		break;
   	}
   	else { ?>
   		<li<?php if($currentpost == $post->ID) { echo ' class="current"'; } ?>><?php the_title();?></li>
   		<?php
   		//the_content();
   		$count2++;
   	}
   }
   ?>
   </ul>

   ah, thank you! ;D
   just as I wanted!

   (I just copied the second code directly from a page, and didn't edit it to be a list. Sorry for the inconvenience!)
