=== How to code a Breadcrumb Trail ===
 
Here's how the breadcrumb trail looks in Wikitext:
 
:'''<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>
