#### `@docroot@` variable
`@docroot@` provides a base path for links that occur in reusable snippets or other documentation that doesn't have a base path of its own.
If a broken link occurs in a snippet that was inserted into multiple generated files in different directories, use `@docroot@` to reference the `doc/manual/src` directory.
If the `@docroot@` literal appears in an error message from the `mdbook-linkcheck` tool, the `@docroot@` replacement needs to be applied to the (probably) generated source file that mentions it. See existing `@docroot@` logic in the [Makefile]. Regular markdown files that are not copied to other markdown files do have a base path of their own and they can use relative paths instead of `@docroot@`.
