	//Usage
	/*
 
	This is meant to be a replacement function for wp_list_pages which can be found here:
 
	http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_pages
 
	It takes in the same arguments as that function plus some other custom arguments to help
	change the output.
 
	$args
	--------------------------
	This is the same as the wp_list_pages function, a link can be found above
 
	$custom_args
	--------------------------
	This is where the user can customize the way the output is displayed, options can be found
	below.
 
	$debug
	--------------------------
	This is set to false by default, if you would like to change it to true you will see output
	at a few places. This is mainly for testing purposes if you need to change something.
 
 
	The custom arguments have the following default options:
 
	 "",
	'tag_close'		=> "",
	'use_link'		=> 0,
	'use_class'		=> 0  ); ?>
 
        Options:
 
	tag_open
	---------------------------
	This can take any opening string you wish to use. This could be something like "<p>" or "<div class='page_item'>".
 
	tag_close
	---------------------------
	This can take any opening string you wish to use. This could be something like "</p>" or "</div>".
 
	use_link
	---------------------------
	This takes a boolean value in numeric format. 0 = false, 1 = true.
 
	use_class
	---------------------------
	This takes a boolean value in numeric format. 0 = false, 1 = true.
 
 
	Example usage:
 
	&lt;?php
	echo wp_list_pages_custom(&quot;sort_column=menu_order&amp;echo=0&amp;title_li=&quot;, &quot;tag_open=<p>&amp;tag_close=</p>&amp;use_link=1&amp;use_class=1");
