  <ol itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/BreadcrumbList">
    <li itemprop="itemListElement" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ListItem">
      <a itemprop="item" href="/"><span itemprop="name">Home</span></a>
      <meta itemprop="position" content="1">
    </li>
    <li itemprop="itemListElement" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ListItem">
      <a itemprop="item" href="/category"><span itemprop="name">Category</span></a>
      <meta itemprop="position" content="2">
    </li>
    <li itemprop="itemListElement" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ListItem">
      <a itemprop="item" href="/category/subcategory"><span itemprop="name">Subcategory</span></a>
      <meta itemprop="position" content="3">
    </li>
  </ol>
</nav>

Explanation:

• Wrap the entire breadcrumb trail within a element.
• Add the itemscope attribute with the value "http://schema.org/BreadcrumbList" to indicate the breadcrumb list.
• For each breadcrumb item, add the itemscope attribute with the value "http://schema.org/ListItem" to indicate that it is a list item.
• Use the itemprop attribute to specify the schema property for each item, such as "item" for the URL and "name" for the breadcrumb text.
• Add the meta tag with the itemprop attribute and the "position" property to specify the order of each breadcrumb item.

Remember to update the href attribute and breadcrumb text accordingly for each item in your breadcrumb trail.
