Hi. I’ve modified the breadcrumbs tag in page\_context.rb. But I’d  
rather like to override that definition instead of modifying the  
original file. Where could I implement my new tag definition outside  
the default file? Thank you.

Create a plugin. In the init.rb file define the following:

Behavior::Base.define\_tags do  
tag “breadcrumbs” do  
# new definition here  
end  
end

Hope that helps.
