## Example

                          <nav aria-label="breadcrumb">
                            <ol class="breadcrumb">
                              <li class="breadcrumb-item active" aria-current="page">Home</li>
                            </ol>
                          </nav>

                          <nav aria-label="breadcrumb">
                            <ol class="breadcrumb">
                              <li class="breadcrumb-item"><a href="#0">Home</a></li>
                              <li class="breadcrumb-item active" aria-current="page">Library</li>
                            </ol>
                          </nav>

                          <nav aria-label="breadcrumb">
                            <ol class="breadcrumb">
                              <li class="breadcrumb-item"><a href="#0">Home</a></li>
                              <li class="breadcrumb-item"><a href="#0">Library</a></li>
                              <li class="breadcrumb-item active" aria-current="page">Data</li>
                            </ol>
                          </nav>

                          <nav aria-label="breadcrumb">
                            <ol class="breadcrumb">
                              <li class="breadcrumb-item"><a href="#0">Home</a></li>
                              <li class="breadcrumb-item"><a href="#0">Library</a></li>
                              <li class="breadcrumb-item"><a href="#0">Data</a></li>
                              <li class="breadcrumb-item active" aria-current="page">Bootstrap</li>
                            </ol>
                          </nav>

## Dividers

Dividers are automatically added in CSS through `::before` and `content`. They can be changed by modifying a local CSS custom property `--bs-breadcrumb-divider`, or through the `$breadcrumb-divider` Sass variable — and `$breadcrumb-divider-flipped` for its RTL counterpart, if needed. We default to our Sass variable, which is set as a fallback to the custom property. This way, you get a global divider that you can override without recompiling CSS at any time.

                          <nav style="--bs-breadcrumb-divider: '>';" aria-label="breadcrumb">
                            <ol class="breadcrumb">
                              <li class="breadcrumb-item"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
                              <li class="breadcrumb-item active" aria-current="page">Library</li>
                            </ol>
                          </nav>

When modifying via Sass, the quote function is required to generate the quotes around a string. For example, using `>` as the divider, you can use this:

                    $breadcrumb-divider: quote(">");

It’s also possible to use an embedded SVG icon. Apply it via our CSS custom property, or use the Sass variable.

                          <nav style="--bs-breadcrumb-divider: url("data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' width='8' height='8'%3E%3Cpath d='M2.5 0L1 1.5 3.5 4 1 6.5 2.5 8l4-4-4-4z' fill='currentColor'/%3E%3C/svg%3E");" aria-label="breadcrumb">
                            <ol class="breadcrumb">
                              <li class="breadcrumb-item"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
                              <li class="breadcrumb-item active" aria-current="page">Library</li>
                            </ol>
                          </nav>

                    $breadcrumb-divider: url("data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' width='8' height='8'%3E%3Cpath d='M2.5 0L1 1.5 3.5 4 1 6.5 2.5 8l4-4-4-4z' fill='currentColor'/%3E%3C/svg%3E");

You can also remove the divider setting `--bs-breadcrumb-divider: '';` (empty strings in CSS custom properties counts as a value), or setting the Sass variable to `$breadcrumb-divider: none;`.

                          <nav style="--bs-breadcrumb-divider: '';" aria-label="breadcrumb">
                            <ol class="breadcrumb">
                              <li class="breadcrumb-item"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
                              <li class="breadcrumb-item active" aria-current="page">Library</li>
                            </ol>
                          </nav>

                    $breadcrumb-divider: none;

## Accessibility

Since breadcrumbs provide a navigation, it’s a good idea to add a meaningful label such as `aria-label="breadcrumb"` to describe the type of navigation provided in the `<nav>` element, as well as applying an `aria-current="page"` to the last item of the set to indicate that it represents the current page.
