I'm trying to implemente a breadcrumb with the following code :

<umbraco:Macro  runat="server" language="cshtml">
@inherits umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNodeContext
  
  @foreach(var level in @Model.Ancestors().Where("Visible"))
  {
  &nbsp;&raquo;&nbsp;    <---- Does NOT work
  <a href="@level.Url">@level.Name</a>
  }
  &nbsp;&raquo;&nbsp; <---- Works fine
  @Model.Name
</umbraco:Macro>

My second  »  works as intended but the first one fails.

Could anyone explain why? By the way, i'm used to work in vb so this c-stuff is new to me :)

Hi, in these cases it's usually good to wrap the html in <text> tags,

<umbraco:Macro  runat="server" language="cshtml">
@inherits umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNodeContext
  
  @foreach(var level in @Model.Ancestors().Where("Visible"))
  {
   <text>&nbsp;&raquo;&nbsp;</text>     <---- Add <text>
  <a href="@level.Url">@level.Name</a>
  }
   &raquo;
  @Model.Name
</umbraco:Macro>

Thanks for the response Jonas. Sounds logical :)

Tried it but got this error :

The 'text' property of 'umbraco.presentation.templateControls.Macro' cannot be declared as an inner property, it must be declared as an attribute.

ouch, yes - reminds me, the <text> tag does not work in razor direct in a template ( http://umbraco.codeplex.com/workitem/30098 )... you will need to make a macro of your code to make it work. Might be other workarounds also, but I would recommend a separate macro.

Another alternative : add the @: before the markup instead of <text>. Shorter syntax, and should work in fine template too.
```
@foreach(var level in @Model.Ancestors().Where("Visible"))
{
 @:&nbsp&raquo;&nbsp     <---- Add @:
```
