Set path based on specific directory in HTML?

Question

Let's say I am in

main/component1/index.html

and I want my html button to link me to main/component2/.

But the same index.html file is also used for the directory

main/component3/dir1/index.html

and I still want to link it to main/component2/.

Specifications:

• I specifically know my main.
• The root will be variable, I want to be able to package main/, then unpackage in another directory with working links.
• If there is no HTML solution to this, then I'll try to write a solution in JS; I just wanted to know if it was possible in pure HTML.

How would I go about doing this? Thank you!

If I understood your question - no, you can't make it with HTML only, because HTML is not programing language, but markup language.

You can make relative and absoulte paths but not "variabled" paths.
