Diagonal Slash
Parallelogram-shaped crumbs using clip-path. Active fills with gradient; hover lifts slightly.
Diagonal Slash the 3rd of 22 designs in the 22 CSS Breadcrumbs collection. The design is implemented in pure CSS — no JavaScript required. Copy the HTML and CSS panels below into your project. Because the demo is pure CSS, it works in any framework or templating engine you happen to use. The design honours prefers-reduced-motion and uses real semantic markup, so it ships accessibility-ready out of the box.
