The returned values have the property that `PATH` = `DIR`+`BASE`. If there is no slash in `PATH`, it returns an empty directory and the base is set to `PATH`. **Note:** On Windows, `PATH` is converted to slash (`/`) separators. ``` {{ path.Split "a/news.html" }} → "a/", "news.html" {{ path.Split "news.html" }} → "", "news.html" {{ path.Split "a/b/c" }} → "a/b/", "c" ```
