+## Changing the separator
+
+Separators are automatically added in CSS through [`::before`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/::before) and [`content`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/content).

+```scss
+$breadcrumb-divider: quote(">");
+```
+
+It's also possible to use a **base64 embedded SVG icon**:
+
+```scss
+$breadcrumb-divider: url(data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI4IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjgiPjxwYXRoIGQ9Ik0yLjUgMEwxIDEuNSAzLjUgNCAxIDYuNSAyLjUgOGw0LTQtNC00eiIgZmlsbD0iY3VycmVudENvbG9yIi8+PC9zdmc+);
+```
+
+The separator can be removed by setting `$breadcrumb-divider` to `none`:
+
+```scss
+$breadcrumb-divider: none;
+```
