How to make dynamic file seperator(/,\) to make document linux and windows compatible?

Hi there. I want to make my asciidoc documents Linux and Windows compatible. I need dynamic file separator for links, images, and videos so a web browser can find the location of the media file properly. What strategy should I watch to achieve that?

Simple solution. Windows understands both the \ and / separators, whereas Linux/Unix/macOS only understands / separators. Therefore, you should always use / separators and your toolchain will be portable across systems. There's no reason to be using \ separators anymore. They are antiquated.

Cheers,
