From the blog project in the IHP Guide, how can I add a link to the home page in the breadcrumbs? I defined my own Home action and view, which displays fine at the root `localhost:8000/`. But, if I do, eg, `breadcrumbLink "Home" HomeAction` it provides a link to `/Home' instead of `/`. As a work-around I'm using `breadcrumbLinkExternal` which works, but there must be a better way. I was confused by the section in Routing where it discusses urlTo and pathTo, but I don’t understand how/where to use them as the examples are expressions without context.
I’d appreciate any guidance. Thank you.

@biscotty666 AFAIK right now you will have to use a workaround to get `/`

This is the workaround I used: `breadcrumbLinkExternal "Home" ("/" :: Text)` Thank you for the reply.
