-Breadcrumbs
------------
-
-Breadcrumbs are a navigation component to help the user locate himself
-along a path of entities.
-
-Display
-~~~~~~~
-
-Breadcrumbs are displayed by default in the header section (see
-:ref:`the_main_template_sections`).  With the default main
-template, the header section is composed by the logo, the application
-name, breadcrumbs and, at the most right, the login box. Breadcrumbs
-are displayed just next to the application name, thus breadcrumbs
-begin with a separator.
-
-Here is the header section of the CubicWeb's forge:
-
-.. image:: ../../../images/breadcrumbs_header.png
-
-There are three breadcrumbs components defined in
-:mod:`cubicweb.web.views.ibreadcrumbs`:
-
-- `BreadCrumbEntityVComponent`: displayed for a result set with one line
-  if the entity implements the ``IBreadCrumbs`` interface.
-- `BreadCrumbETypeVComponent`: displayed for a result set with more than
-  one line, but with all entities of the same type which implement the
-  ``IBreadCrumbs`` interface.
-- `BreadCrumbAnyRSetVComponent`: displayed for any other result set.

-Building breadcrumbs
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-The ``IBreadCrumbs`` interface is defined in the
-:mod:`cubicweb.interfaces` module. It specifies that an entity which
-implements this interface must have a ``breadcrumbs`` method.
-
-.. note::
-
-   Redefining the breadcrumbs is the hammer way to do it. Another way
-   is to define the `parent` method on an entity (as defined in the
-   `ITree` interface). If available, it will be used to compute
-   breadcrumbs.
-
-Here is the API of the ``breadcrumbs`` method:
-
-.. automethod:: cubicweb.interfaces.IBreadCrumbs.breadcrumbs
-
-If the breadcrumbs method return a list of entities, the
-``cubicweb.web.views.ibreadcrumbs.BreadCrumbView`` is used to display
-the elements.
-
-By default, for any entity, if recurs=True, breadcrumbs method returns
-a list of entities, else a list of a simple string.
-
-In order to see a hierarchical breadcrumbs, entities must have a
-``parent`` method which returns the parent entity. By default this
-method doesn't exist on entity, given that it can not be guessed.
