Breadcrumbs
Breadcrumbs show the path to the current page and let visitors jump back up the hierarchy.
In this page:
Syntax
<nav aria-label="breadcrumb">
<ol class="breadcrumb">
<li class="breadcrumb-item"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
<li class="breadcrumb-item active" aria-current="page">Current</li>
</ol>
</nav>Breadcrumbs
Use nav with aria-label="breadcrumb" containing an ol.breadcrumb of li.breadcrumb-item elements. The last item gets .active and aria-current="page". Separators are added by CSS and can be changed with a CSS variable.
Note:
Breadcrumbs are for hierarchy, not for browsing history.
Example: Breadcrumbs
