^root^

Tinderbox Icon

^root^

Returns the relative path from the current file to the directory that contains the cover page. When concatenating ^root^ with a path, it is not necessary to add a trailing (folder) slash as this is created as part of the ^root^ output. Thus

- ^root^images/icon.gif

... not ...

- ^ root^/images/icon.gif

Note that this is not necessarily the same as ^root(this)^, used in the case where a note (this) is embedded inside another note that is included in a page.

The ^root^ of this note is: ../../../../ (see the browser URL bar to see how this resolves)
