+# Markdown Link-test
+
+This document exists solely as a test for some of the hyperlinking
+capabilities of Markdown as implemented by Fossil.
+
+## Relative-Path Links
+
+  *   The index: [](../index.wiki)
+
+  *   Load management: [](../loadmgmt.md)
+
+  *   Site-map:  [](../../../../sitemap)
+
+  *   Windows CGI: [](../server/windows/cgi.md)
+
+## The Magic $ROOT Path Prefix
+
+In text of the form `href="$ROOT/..."` in the HTML that markdown
+generates, the $ROOT is replaced by the complete URI for the root 
+of the document tree.
+Note that the $ROOT translation only occurs within the `<a href="...">`
+element, not within the text of the hyperlink.  So you should see the
+$ROOT text on this page, but if you mouse-over the hyperlink the $ROOT
+value should have been expanded to the actual document root.
+
+  *   Timeline: []($ROOT/timeline)
+
+  *   Site-map:  []($ROOT/sitemap)
+
+The $ROOT prefix on markdown links is superfluous.  The same link
+works without the $ROOT prefix.  (Though: the $ROOT prefix is required
+for HTML documents.)
+
+  *   Timeline:  [](/timeline)
+
+  *   Help: [](/help/help)
+
+  *   Site-map:  [](/sitemap)
+
+## The Magic $CURRENT Document Version Translation
+
+In URI text of the form `.../doc/$CURRENT/...` the
+$CURRENT value is converted to the version number of the document
+currently being displayed.  This conversion happens after translation
+into HTML and only occurs on href='...' attributes so it does not occur
+for plain text.
+
+  *   Document index:  [](/doc/$CURRENT/www/index.wiki)
+
+Both the $ROOT and the $CURRENT conversions can occur on the same link.
+
+  *   Document index:  []($ROOT/doc/$CURRENT/www/index.wiki)
+
+The translations must be contained within HTML markup in order to work.
+They do not work for ordinary text that appears to be an href= attribute.
+
+  *   `x href='$ROOT/timeline'`
+  *   `x action="$ROOT/whatever"`
+  *   `x href="https://some-other-site.com/doc/$CURRENT/tail"`
