Hi all,

Apologies if this has been asked on WSG before, but I was wondering
the general opinion on the most correct semantic way of coding
breadcrumb trails.

There's many webpages dealing with this:

http://www.simplebits.com/notebook/2004/02/23/sqxii_conclusion.html
http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=mozclient&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&q=semantic+breadcrumb

I've seen arguements for: 

1. <ul> list 
2. Nested <ul> list 
Several lists nested (seems like a bit of a pain to me)
<ul>
 <li><a href="/">Home</a>
  <ul>
   <li><a href="/articles/">Articles</a>
    <ul>
     <li><a href="/articles/file.html">Title</a></li>
    </ul>
   </li>
  </ul>
 </li>
</ul>
3. <ol> ordered list 
I suppose if it's a list at all, it's an ordered list? 
4. <dl> definition list 
such as used in this page http://www.baekdal.com/example.asp
(actually this is a good example of using <dl>s for everything)

At the moment i've been just putting them in a <p class="breadcrumb">
or <div class="breadcrumb"> and putting a "/" or ">" etc between each
link. This is not perfect, i know.

So what do you think? How do you do your breadcrumbs?
