 * I added code to my theme’s function.php file to allow me to call a custom menu
   in a page:
 *     ```
       function print_menu_shortcode($atts, $content = null) {
           extract(shortcode_atts(array( 'name' => null, ), $atts));
           return wp_nav_menu( array( 'menu' => $name, 'echo' => false ) );
       }
       add_shortcode('menu', 'print_menu_shortcode');
       ```
   
 * What I need now is to be able to style the parent and child pages listed there.
   Right now they are just a list.
 * Parent Page
    Child 1 Child 2 Child 3 Parent Page Child 1 Child 2
 * I’d like to bold the parent pages and increase their font size a bit.
 * **Parent Page**
    Child 1 Child 2 Child 3 **Parent Page** Child 1 Child 2
 * Any help?
