{% breadcrumb crumbs with index="自定义文本" %}
    {% for item in crumbs %}
        <li><a href="{{item.Link}}">{{item.Name}}</a></li>

{% endbreadcrumb %}

Here, "自定义文本"That is the text you want to display as the starting point in the breadcrumb navigation. For example, if you want the homepage to display as "My Blog", you can write it like this:

{% breadcrumb crumbs with index="我的博客" %}
    <ul>
        {% for item in crumbs %}
            <li><a href="{{item.Link}}">{{item.Name}}</a></li>
        {% endfor %}
    </ul>
{% endbreadcrumb %}
