When looking at header.php, I see the following line:
<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'primary' ) ); ?>
That function is defined in nav-menu-template.php and generates the ‘menu-custom-menu-container’ div. Let’s I want to add a div after the navigation list inside the ‘menu-custom-menu-contaner’ div. Where would I do that?
See @toscho’s detailed explanation of the items_wrap parameter for more information.
