 * I’m trying to generate a menu in my template using the following code:
 *     ```
       <?php
       wp_nav_menu(array(
           'theme_location' => 'main-menu',
           'container' => 'nav',
           'container_id' => 'menu',
           'menu_class' => 'navigation',
           'menu_id' => 'nav'
       ));
       ?>
       ```
   
 * What I should be ending up with is this:
 *     ```
       <nav id="menu">
           <ul class="navigation" id="nav">
       	<li><a href="http://localhost/sample-page/">Sample Page</a></li>
           </ul>
       </nav>
       ```
   
 * Instead I get this:
 *     ```
       <div class="navigation">
           <ul>
               <li class="page_item page-item-2"><a href="http://localhost/sample-page/">Sample Page</a></li>
           </ul>
       </div>
       ```
   
 * Am I doing something wrong?

 * Please ignore this message I didn’t know that the default generated menu does
   not follow the arguments passed.
