urls.RelRef

The first argument is the context of the page from which to resolve relative paths, typically the current page.

The second argument is a path to a page, with or without a file extension, with or without an anchor. A path without a leading / is first resolved relative to the given context, then to the remainder of the site. Alternatively, provide an options map instead of a path. .

{{ relref . "about" }}
{{ relref . "about#anchor" }}
{{ relref . "about.md" }}
{{ relref . "about.md#anchor" }}
{{ relref . "#anchor" }}
{{ relref . "/blog/my-post" }}
{{ relref . "/blog/my-post.md" }}

The permalink returned is relative to the protocol+host portion of the baseURL specified in the site configuration. For example:

CodebaseURLPermalink
{{ relref . "/about" }}https://example.org//about/
{{ relref . "/about" }}https://example.org/x//x/about/

Options​

Instead of specifying a path, you can also provide an options map:

path : (string) The path to the page, relative to the content directory. Required.

lang : (string) The language (site) to search for the page. Default is the current language. Optional.

outputFormat : (string) The output format to search for the page. Default is the current output format. Optional.

To return the relative permalink to another language version of a page:

{{ relref . (dict "path" "about.md" "lang" "fr") }}

To return the relative permalink to another Output Format of a page:

{{ relref . (dict "path" "about.md" "outputFormat" "rss") }}

By default, Hugo will throw an error and fail the build if it cannot resolve the path. You can change this to a warning in your site configuration, and specify a URL to return when the path cannot be resolved.

refLinksErrorLevel = 'warning'
refLinksNotFoundURL = '/some/other/url'
