How to use BASE_PATH in a post

[bilke]

I am writing a post in markdown and include an image which is located in images/pic1.png:

![This is an image][img-ref]

[img-ref]: /images/pic1.png

This works fine when running locally but when published to GitHubs project pages the image url does not work as expected.

When I change the ref to [img-ref]: {{ BASE_PATH }}/images/pic1.png it also works locally but not on GitHub.

When I change the ref to [img-ref]: {{ site.JB.BASE_PATH }}/images/pic1.png it works both locally and on Github but always (also when developing locally) inserts the link to the image hosted on GitHub.

So what is the correct usage of BASE_PATH in posts (and also pages)?

Thanks!

I'm a little confused about this, too.

@plusjade please clarify this.

I am sorry, this was my fault.

I forgot to call {% include JB/setup %} at the beginning of my post. After this is done the image ref works correctly with the BASE_PATH:

[img-ref]: {{ BASE_PATH }}/images/pic1.png
