 * For my menu, i use this tag:
 *     ```
       <?php wp_page_menu('show_home=1&exclude=5,9,23&menu_class=page-navi&sort_column=menu_order '); ?>
       ```
   
 * So now my menu looks like this:
    Home About Contact Archive
 * Now I want to add after every menu/page item a extra tag:
    <li > | </li >
 * So it has to look like this:
    Home | About | Contact | Archief
 * How do I do this?

 * It”s not currently possible to add a character outside of the page link using
   [wp_page_menu](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_page_menu).

 * Creative as I am, i found a nice solution:
 * I used the “background-image” in css.
