Breadcrumbs are problematic (in version 1.1.4)

[franzinc]

I have an internal link checker (written in Common Lisp) and it's been a real challenge to get my internal documentation to pass with no bad links. There are many, many false positives. Why? Because of the breadcrumbs. They look like this:

<div class="main with-sidebar">
  <div class="breadcrumbs"><a href="/">Home</a> / <a href="/readme">readme</a> / <a href="/readme/agraph">agraph</a> / 
    <span>attributes-index-opt-performance</span>
  </div><h1 id="attributes-index-opt-performance">attributes-index-opt-performance</h1>

What's wrong is that /readme/agraph really should be /readme/agraph/, because when the base URI without the slash is merged with a document, say, foo.md, then it will produce /readme/foo.md instead of /readme/agraph/foo.md.

In all other places, the trailing slash is included.

It would be extremely helpful (I don't know how to workaround this in the link checker) if the trailing slash could be included. In this case, you know that the breadcrumbs are directories so including the trailing / is always the right thing.

Thank you.

Btw, I figured the fix would be pretty easy, but when I did git grep -i breadcrumbs it had no hits. So, maybe the real bug is in a dependent project?

If someone can give me a pointer to what generates the breadcrumbs, then I can work to fix it and provide a pull request. Thanks.

it appears they are added by Sphinx's Alabaster "theme": https://allabaster.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ ...

Does that mean we can choose another config to work around this? I looked at the docs and didn't see anything about a config option to change and what the allowed values might be for it.
