Insert this Templater snippet into a note to print breadcrumb links to its current location.

If you have folder notes enabled, the final note link prints twice.

<%* if (tp.file.folder(true).contains("/")) { %>[[<% tp.file.folder(true).replaceAll("/", "]] / [[") %>]] <%* } else { %> [[<% tp.file.folder(true) %>]] <%* } %> / [[<% tp.file.title %>]]

Example output:

[[Home|Home]] / [[Markdown breadcrumb navigation]]

I now write my breadcrumbs by hand, so I no longer use this snippet.
