`ref` and `relref` look up a content page by logical name (`ref`) or relative path (`relref`) to return the permalink:
```
{{ relref . "about.md" }}
```
{{% note "Usage Note" %}}
`relref` looks up Hugo "Regular Pages" only. It can't be used for the homepage, section pages, etc.
{{% /note %}}
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](/content-management/shortcodes/#ref-and-relref).
For an extensive explanation of how to leverage `ref` and `relref` for content management, see [Cross References](/content-management/cross-references/).
