## Default markup

Use the `breadcrumb` class to add a breadcrumb to your interface design for better navigation. The `active` modifier in a `li` tag will help you indicate the current page location and facilitate navigation within your website or app.

Look at the example below to see how breadcrumbs work in practice.

{% capture html -%}
{% include "ui/breadcrumb.html" pages="Home,Library,Data" %}
{%- endcapture %}
{% include "docs/example.html" html=html centered %}

## Different separators

You can use different breadcrumb styles to match your website or app design. Choose between `breadcrumb-dots`, `breadcrumb-arrows`, and `breadcrumb-bullets` to create a unique look.

This example shows how to use different breadcrumb styles.

{% capture html -%}
{% include "ui/breadcrumb.html" pages="Home,Library,Data" separator="dots" %}
{% include "ui/breadcrumb.html" pages="Home,Library,Data" separator="arrows" %}
{% include "ui/breadcrumb.html" pages="Home,Library,Data" separator="bullets" %}
{%- endcapture %}
{% include "docs/example.html" html=html vertical separated centered %}

## With icon

You can use icons in breadcrumbs to make them more visually appealing. The example below demonstrates how to use icons in breadcrumbs.

{% capture html -%}
{% include "ui/breadcrumb.html" pages="Home,Library,Data" home-icon %}
{%- endcapture %}
{% include "docs/example.html" html=html vertical separated %}

## Muted breadcrumbs

You can use the `breadcrumb-muted` class to create a muted breadcrumb style. This style is perfect for breadcrumbs that are not the main focus of your website or app.

{% capture html -%}
{% include "ui/breadcrumb.html" pages="Home,Library,Data" class="breadcrumb-muted" %}
{%- endcapture %}
{% include "docs/example.html" html=html %}

## Breadcrumb in headers

You can use breadcrumbs in headers to show the current page location and provide a better navigation experience. The example below demonstrates how to use breadcrumbs in headers.

{% capture html -%}
<div class="page-header">
  <div class="row align-items-center mw-100">
    <div class="col">
		{% include "ui/breadcrumb.html" pages="Home,Library,Articles" -%}
      <h2 class="page-title">
        <span class="text-truncate">How to Build a Modern Dashboard with Tabler</span>
      </h2>
    </div>
    <div class="col-auto">
      <div class="btn-list">
        <a href="#" class="btn d-none d-md-inline-flex">
          {% include "ui/icon.html" icon="edit" %}
          Edit
        </a>
        <a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Publish</a>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>
{%- endcapture %}
{% include "docs/example.html" html=html centered vertical %}
