+----
+
+It's almost implicit in some of the discussion above but this can be achieved locally if you fork your templates directory from ikiwiki's, with an ammendment such as
+
+ <h1><TMPL_LOOP NAME="PARENTLINKS"><a
+ href="<TMPL_VAR NAME=URL>"><TMPL_VAR NAME=PAGE></a>
+ →
+ </TMPL_LOOP><TMPL_VAR TITLE></h1>
+
+This is what I do on my site for example. -- [[Jon]]
+
+> You don't actually need to fork the whole directory, "only" `page.tmpl` -
+> put `templatedir => "/foo/templates"` in your setup file, copy `page.tmpl`
+> to that directory, and modify it there. IkiWiki will look in `templatedir`
+> first, then fall back to its default templates if any are missing from
+> `templatedir`.

+> tends to change whenever a new plugin is added...) --[[smcv]]
+
+----
+
+Here is a solution which doesn't require people to create their own `page.tmpl`. The solution uses an HTML list together with CSS to draw the separator and can therefore be controlled by users. This change also allows people to control other aspects of how the parentlinks are displayed. The only drawback is that lynx/w3m don't seem to deal with this CSS feature, but I don't think it's too bad since the parentlinks will simply show up as a list.
+
+(I see that the other patch changes templates/misc.tmpl and templates/recentchanges.tmpl for INDEXLINK. I haven't done that but can do so if [[Joey]] likes this approach.)
