Breadcrumbs are a great way to show hierarchy-based information for a site. In the case of blogs, breadcrumbs can show the dates of publishing, categories, or tags. They indicate the current page's location within a navigational hierarchy.
A breadcrumb in Bootstrap is simply an unordered list with a class of .breadcrumb. The separator is automatically added by CSS (bootstrap.min.css) through the following class −
.breadcrumb > li + li:before { color: #CCCCCC; content: "/ "; padding: 0 5px; }
The following example demonstrates breadcrumbs −
<ol class = "breadcrumb"> <li><a href = "#">Home</a></li> <li><a href = "#">2013</a></li> <li class = "active">November</li> </ol>
