urls.Ref
Syntax
urls.Ref . PAGE ⟼ template.HTML
Alias
ref
This function takes two arguments:
- 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.
{{ ref . "about" }}
{{ ref . "about#anchor" }}
{{ ref . "about.md" }}
{{ ref . "about.md#anchor" }}
{{ ref . "#anchor" }}
{{ ref . "/blog/my-post" }}
{{ ref . "/blog/my-post.md" }}
To return the absolute permalink to another language version of a page:
{{ ref . (dict "path" "about.md" "lang" "fr") }}
To return the absolute permalink to another Output Format of a page:
{{ ref . (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 ref
shortcode. For a detailed explanation of how to leverage this shortcode for content management, see Links and Cross References.
