Creating breadcrumb navigation for your TYPO3 website is pretty straightfoward. You can copy and paste the following TypoScript code into your TypoScript template's Setup section and then call lib.nav.breadcrumb as needed into your TemplaVoila or TypoScript page template.

lib.nav.breadcrumb = HMENU
lib.nav.breadcrumb {
	includeNotInMenu = 1
	special = rootline
	1 = TMENU
	1 {
		NO = 1
		NO {
			linkWrap = |&nbsp;&#187;&nbsp;|*||*| |
			ATagTitle.field = description // title
			stdWrap.htmlSpecialChars = 1
		}
		CUR < .NO
		CUR {
			doNotLinkIt = 1
			stdWrap.htmlSpecialChars = 1
		}
	}
}
lib.nav.breadcrumb.wrap = <div id="nav_breadcrumb">|</div>
