Filters a menu item's starting output.

The menu item's starting output only includes $args->before, the opening <a>, the menu item's title, the closing </a>, and $args->after. Currently, there is no filter for modifying the opening and closing <li> for a menu item.

function filter_function_name_5986( $item_output, $item, $depth, $args ){
	// filter...

	return $item_output;
}
