19 `path.Split` splits `PATH` immediately following the final slash, separating it into a directory and a base component.
20
21 The returned values have the property that `PATH` = `DIR`+`BASE`.
22 If there is no slash in `PATH`, it returns an empty directory and the base is set to `PATH`.
23
24 **Note:** On Windows, `PATH` is converted to slash (`/`) separators.

27 {{ $dirFile := path.Split "a/news.html" }} → $dirFile.Dir → "a/", $dirFile.File → "news.html"
28 {{ $dirFile := path.Split "news.html" }} → $dirFile.Dir → "", $dirFile.File → "news.html"
29 {{ $dirFile := path.Split "a/b/c" }} → $dirFile.Dir → "a/b/", $dirFile.File → "c"
