Adding breadcrumb navigation in the primary content area

Above is an example of a correctly formatted breadcrumb navigation for the WSU Web templates. The font size is to be specified as "x-small." Each breadcrumb is separated by the "greater than" arrow symbol (>) with a space before and after the arrow.

To add a breadcrumb navigation, a CSS class must be created. You can copy the breadcrumb class in red below and add it to an external style sheet or to your Web page's source code as indicated. Existing page code is in gray.
