  1. The breadcrumb issue could be fixed in the following line, where the url property should have the .html stripped:
    https://github.com/telerik/docs-seed/blob/master/_plugins/navigation.rb#L214
    "<a href='#{baseurl}#{url.gsub(".html", "")}'>#{format_title(title)}</a>#{so_far}"

  2. The API pages are generated by DocFX where we have little to no control. Ultimately, we might need to create a solution similar to the one stripping out the .html extension in the sitemap, discussed in API ref generated by DocFX adds .html extension to links in sitemap.xml #250

Could you please plan this with priority as it is related to the SEO of the docs site?
