How do I highlight menu entries

A common technique for indicating which section you are in within a site is to highlight the link used to get you there.

Something like
...
<div id="subnavcurrent">section 1</div>
<div id="subnav"><a href="sec2.htm">section 2</a></div>
<div id="subnav"><a href="sec3.htm">section 3</a></div>
<div id="subnav"><a href="sec4.htm">section 4</a></div>
...

sec2.htm has
<div id="subnav"><a href="sec1.htm">section 1</a></div>
<div id="subnavcurrent">section 2</div>
...
and so on.

This is part of a larger template. One way is to define N chunks containing the above extract where each has a different link set to the subnavcurrent id. How would I specify this within a template such that when creating a document I could enter the appropriate chunk. What is the MODx way of achieving this?

Most of the menu snippets do this automatically. Check the optional arguments listed in the beginning of the snippet code. Adjust your CSS file accordingly.

And use Wayfinder if at all possible. It’s infinitely easier to get the exact output you want.
