Why path rel doesn't work - Sass?

// Path to Assets
$path--rel      : "assets/img/";

<img src="#{$path--rel}house-1.jpg">

And it outputs me exactly the same HTML in the browser, why?

sass parser doesn't work outside of a sass file. You can't do what you're trying to do with sass in an html file.

But Guil did that with JavaScript on one of his vidoes linking it in HTML if im correct, I don't have access to it so i can't re-visit it.

Javascript is very different than Sass, which you have no javascript listed here.

You're trying to use Sass interpolation in html, and I am 100% sure Guil did not do that.

You can set css styles dynamically with Javascript, and you could do something similar, but it would not be using Sass.
