Hi to all!
I've got a trouble: I don't understand how menu output in Drupal 7 can be rewritten?
The standard menu code is like this:
<ul class = "menu">
<li class = "first leaf"><a href = "#"> link 1</a></li>
<li class = "leaf"><a href = "#">link 2</a></li>
...
<li class = "last leaf"><a href = "#">link n</a></li>
</ul>...but I need to do something like that:
<ul class = "menu">
<li class = "separator">
<li class = "first leaf"><a href = "#"> link 1</a></li>
<li class = "separator">
<li class = "leaf"><a href = "#">link 2</a></li>
...
<li class = "last leaf"><a href = "#">link n</a></li>
</ul>it mens, add <li class = "separator"> to menu. How to do it? Please, help, I really need it!

Hey there,
First of all, the html code you want there is wrong, as you don't have any closing tags for the separator class
<li>.If you want separators or NOLINK menu items, try the Special Menu Items module.

But I need to write a theme for drupal 7 and whant to rewrite some Drupal's functions, but don't know how.

Drupal is written in PHP, and the first thing I would do is check out the page.tpl.php file of a working theme and check out the menu code. They print out in an array, and you'd be able to echo out one menu item, then a separator, then the next menu item, etc.

Look into the API for ways you can overwrite the menu output in the theme's template.php file.

If all you need is to add a specific style to a menu list, like that separator, the easiest way is to use pseudo selectors like :before. You will also have a cleaner HTML. There is an example combined with CSS content property.
