Using the tab control in semantic-ui
I was also looking into this. It seems the tab plugin is not yet "released" or documented yet. See https://github.com/Semantic-Org/Semantic-UI/issues/209.
There's a good blog article covering the tabs here: http://patrickgawron.com/wp/semantic-ui/
Your main problem was that you need to use javascript to wire up the tabs. I added the dependencies and this code to invoke the tab plugin:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.demo.menu .item').tab();
});

Update:
If you pass { history: false }
to the tab function, then you don't need jquery.address.
