Issue Summary

The link that is visually highlighted as currently relevant in the "Side navigation" section does not have a programmatically defined current page state.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Navigate onto the above mentioned page.
2. Navigate onto the mentioned instances and observe that one of the link is visually highlighted as currently relevant.
3. Inspect its code.
4. Observe that the current state is not programmatically defined.

Expected Results

Make sure that the current state is programmatically defined for the currently active link. Use “aria-current”. The possible specific values that “aria-current” accepts are “page”, “step”, “location”, “date”, “time”. As well, “true” and “false” can be used as a catch-all value to determine whether an element is current or not.
