 * Hi – new to WordPress and PHP…
 * I have a custom menu that’s working fine. I need to repeat the current menu’s“
   navigation label” elsewhere on the page.
 * Is there a way to access this?
 * ‘<?php wp_nav_menu(array(‘menu’ => ‘tabs’)); ?>’
 * Thanks for your help.

 * What do you mean by the current menu’s “navigation label”?

 * When I create the custom menu, there is a field called “Navigation Label”.
 * I’ve successfully styled .current-menu-item a
 * I would like to render this in an heading tag elsewhere on the page.
 * So, I have a custom menu with five items in it. At any given time one of the 
   items is the current one.
 * I need this value to be in a heading tag.
 * I hope that’s clear. Thanks again.

 * You want the heading to use the enclosing menu class or you want it to use the
   current_page menu class?
