Newbie question

:
Can somebody tell step-by step what has to be done to get a page navigation like on the rondo page?
For example I had a problem using the dynamic rep. tags {NAV_LIST_TOP: :} Tried to put index or class in, (in the template main section) but returned only the tag as a string on the page.
So wrong usage by me, I guess?
Can some body show ma an example how tehse tags have to be used and what the right values are?
I know its not like this : {NAV_LIST_TOP: 5:}
Cheers, Tommi
