Remove separator from breadcrumb How can I remove the &lt; from the breadcrumb I tried implode('&lt;', $value['data']) but no luck

   function bootstrap_fit_breadcrumb($variables) {
            $breadcrumb = $variables['breadcrumb'];

            if (!empty($breadcrumb)) {
              //$breadcrumb[] = drupal_get_title();
              $breadcrumbs = '&lt;ul class="breadcrumbs_list"&gt;';

              $count = count($breadcrumb) - 1;

              foreach ($breadcrumb as $key =&gt; $value) {
                  if ($key==0) {
                    $breadcrumbs .= '&lt;li&gt;' . $value . '&lt;/li&gt;';
                  } else {
                   $breadcrumbs .= '&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;' . $value['data'] . '&lt;/li&gt;';

                  }
              }
              $breadcrumbs .= '&lt;/ul&gt;';
              return $breadcrumbs;
      }
   }

Also, what theme are you using? I would check the base theme to make sure that it isn't preprocessing the breadcrumbs itself. If so, you'll need to make sure you are calling the appropriate function in order to override the breadcrumb settings.
