I would like to type the following command in a css file.
background: #2c001e url(file:///home/user/.local/share/backgrounds/mypic.jpg)
However, I don't want to explicitly declare the user path /home/user/ but instead use ~ and $HOME in its place. I discovered they did not work, i.e.
background: #2c001e url(file://~/.local/share/backgrounds/mypic.jpg)
background: #2c001e url(file://$HOME.local/share/backgrounds/mypic.jpg)
What is the correct syntax that I should use?
The context for using the above command is described here.

As I understand, "file:///" is interpreted by the internet browser, while~and$HOMEare system variables. The browser does not know about them. So in this case you should always use the full path. Maybe I'm wrong?

It's not a requirement, web development is an "independent" system that does not need a pecific OS to work, for example the web browser. In this case, what you have to take into account is what and how the browser parses files, which is the same in any OS.
