relref	relref	Returns the relative permalink to a page.	2017-02-01	2017-02-01	2020-09-05	functions	docs parent functions	cross references anchors	relref . PAGE			ref	false

This function takes two parameters:

• The context of the page from which to resolve relative paths, typically the current page (.)
• The 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.

{{ 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:

Code	baseURL	Permalink
{{ relref . "/about" }}	http://example.org/	/about/
{{ relref . "/about" }}	http://example.org/x/	/x/about/

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") }}

Hugo emits an error or warning if the page cannot be uniquely resolved. The error behavior is configurable; see Ref and RelRef Configuration.

This function is used by Hugo's built-in relref shortcode. For a detailed explanation of how to leverage this shortcode for content management, see Links and Cross References.
