What are some good ways to implement breadcrumbs on a Jekyll site?

Question

I\'m aware that there are single-level breadcrumbs in http://raphinou.github.com/jekyll-base/ but I\'m looking for some good ways to have breadcrumbs on a Jekyll sit

Answer 1

And I have improved JoostS's response to have the following capabilities:

• Replace the "/" path separator with a rightward-pointing triangle (▶ ▶)

• If one exists, use the breadcrumb: from the front matter of the final page

  {% assign crumbs = page.url | remove:'/index.html' | split: '/' %}
  
  Home
  {% for crumb in crumbs offset: 1 %}
    {% if forloop.last %}
      {% if page.breadcrumb != '' %}
        ▶ {{ page.breadcrumb }} 
      {% else %}
        ▶ {{ crumb | replace:'-',' ' | remove:'.html' | capitalize }}
      {% endif %}
    {% else %}
        ▶ {{ crumb | replace:'-',' ' | remove:'.html' | capitalize }}
    {% endif %}
  {% endfor %}
