## Documentation

### Overview

A breadcrumb is a list of links to display a user's navigational hierarchy. The last item of the breadcrumb list indicates the current page's location.

* `.pf-v6-c-breadcrumb__list` is the default breadcrumb navigation. It provides links to previous navigation pages and also shows the current page's location.

In the event that a page does not have a traditional `<h1>` page title, a heading can be included in the breadcrumbs and an optional link within.

| `aria-label="[landmark description]"` | `.pf-v6-c-breadcrumb` |  Describes `<nav>` landmark. |
| `aria-label="[link name]"` | `.pf-v6-c-breadcrumb__link` | If link has no text (icon), add an aria-label. |
