+
+`path.Clean` replaces path separators with slashes (`/`) and removes extraneous separators, including trailing separators.
+
+```
+{{ path.Clean "foo//bar" }} → "foo/bar"
+{{ path.Clean "/foo/bar/" }} → "/foo/bar"
+```
+
+On a Windows system, if `.File.Path` is `foo\bar.md`, then:
+
+```
+{{ path.Clean .File.Path }} → "foo/bar.md"
+```
