=== How to code a Breadcrumb Trail ===
 
===Ready made breadcrumb trail===
Here's how the breadcrumb trail looks in Wikitext:
Here is a ready to use template for creating breadcrumbs: Copy and paste this coding into your page where you want the breadcrumb to appear (usually at the very top of the page) and fill in the links:<br>
 
<div style="border:1px solid black; padding:10px">
:'''<nowiki>''[[Ireland Genealogy|Ireland]] <nowiki>{{Gotoarrow}}</nowiki> [[Counties of Ireland]] <nowiki>{{Gotoarrow}}</nowiki> [[County Antrim Genealogy|County Antrim]]'' <nowiki>{{Gotoarrow}}</nowiki> [[{{PAGENAME}}]].</nowiki>'''
 
Let’s look at the parts of this breadcrumb trail.
 
*'''<nowiki>[[Ireland Genealogy|Ireland]]</nowiki>'''. The first set of <nowiki>[[ ]]</nowiki> shows the first page of the hierarchical order of articles. Ireland is the first page of the order. (The double brackets indicate an article within FamilySearch Wiki, not a link to an article outside of the wiki which has only a single set of brackets [ ].)<br><br>
*'''<nowiki>{{Gotoarrow}}</nowiki>''' Next comes an arrow pointing to the next article in this hierarchical order. Notice that it is a template. This arrow is pointing to:<br><br>
*'''<nowiki>[[Counties of Ireland]]</nowiki>'''. The link to the next article in the order. It is a link to the article “Counties of Ireland.”<br><br>
*'''<nowiki>{{Gotoarrow}}</nowiki>'''. Another template of an arrow which is pointing to:<br><br>
*'''<nowiki>[[County Antrim Genealogy|County Antrim]]</nowiki>'''. The next link in the order: “County Antrim.” <br><br>
*'''<nowiki>{{Gotoarrow}}</nowiki>'''. Then another template of an arrow which is pointing to:.<br><br>
*'''<nowiki>[[{{PAGENAME}}]]</nowiki>'''. The last link of the order which is normally the last page of the order and the one you are now reading. The <nowiki>{{PAGENAME}}</nowiki> template automatically puts the name of the article you are now reading in this place on the breadcrumb trail. Saves you from having to type it in manually.<br><br>
*To save some confusion here is a ready for use template for creating breadcrumbs: Just paste this coding:
<nowiki>{{breadcrumb </nowiki><br>
<nowiki>{{breadcrumb </nowiki><br>
<nowiki>| link1=</nowiki><br>
<nowiki>| link1=</nowiki><br>
Line 73: Line 61:
<nowiki>| link4=</nowiki><br>
<nowiki>| link4=</nowiki><br>
<nowiki>| link5=</nowiki><br>
<nowiki>| link5=</nowiki><br>
<nowiki>| link6=</nowiki><br>
<nowiki>}}</nowiki><br><br>
<nowiki>| link7=</nowiki><br>
</div>
<nowiki>| link8=</nowiki><br>
''Please remember:''<br>
<nowiki>| link9=</nowiki><br>
*Always leave off the word "Genealogy" in the breadcrumb as it takes up too much room.
<nowiki>| link10=[[PAGENAME]]</nowiki><br>
*Type the internal links for each page in the chain after each equal sign.
<nowiki>| fontstyle=italic</nowiki><br>
*If there are only two links, for example, do not type in anything after the equal signs on links 2, 3 and 4.
<nowiki>}}</nowiki>
*The fifth one reserved for the last one in the chain.  ''Be sure to put the last link in link 5 not any of the others.''
in your page where you want the breadcrumb to appear (usually at the very top of the page) and fill in the links.
*You can type the title of the last link in link five or you could type instead <nowiki>{{PAGENAME}}</nowiki> and your browser will add it automatically when you are on that page.
**There is room to add up to nine links with the tenth one reserved for the last one.   
**Links 1 to 9 are automatically italicized.
**The tenth one is automatically filled with the title of the page or you can remove [[PAGENAME]] and put in type in whatever name you want.
**If you do not want to italicize the any of the text, delete the word italic from the bottom link.
