ref

Syntax

ref . CONTENT

ref and relref look up a content page by logical name (ref) or relative path (relref) to return the permalink:

{{ ref . "about.md" }}

It is also possible to pass additional arguments to link to another language or an alternative output format. Therefore, pass a map of arguments instead of just the path.

{{ ref . (dict "path" "about.md" "lang" "ja" "outputFormat" "rss") }} 

These functions are used in two of Hugo’s built-in shortcodes. You can see basic usage examples of both ref and relref in the shortcode documentation.
