Jekyll-Breadcrumb-Microdata

A BreadcrumbList is an ItemList consisting of a chain of linked Web pages, typically described using at least their URL and their name, and typically ending with the current page.

Usage

1. Add breadcrumbs.html to your site’s _includes folder

2. Place the following into your _layouts files or into your pages where you want your breadcrumbs appear:

   {% include breadcrumbs.html path=page.path title=page.title %}

3. Style it with your own CSS or use my style, see: <!-- comments -->

If you don’t know how includes work, go to Jekyll includes on Jekyll official website.
