The trail is Home plus the page’s ancestors, and it renders only when the page has a parent that isn’t Home. It does not end in the page you are already on.

This page sits exactly where Three Levels Deep sits — three crumbs’ worth of ancestry — but sets showBreadCrumbs = false in its front matter, so there is nothing above the title.

Look at the top of this page: Home » Docs » Breadcrumbs. Three crumbs, none of them a link to this page.

Why use a table of contents The built-in TOC is useful on pages with real hierarchy. It works best when the content has more than a flat list of ## headings and gives the reader a clear path through the page.
