The `ref` and `relref` shortcode resolves the absolute or relative permalink given a path to a document.
## Use `ref` and `relref`
```go-html-template
{{</* ref "document.md" */>}}
{{</* ref "#anchor" */>}}
{{</* ref "document.md#anchor" */>}}
{{</* ref "/blog/my-post" */>}}
{{</* ref "/blog/my-post.md" */>}}
{{</* relref "document.md" */>}}
{{</* relref "#anchor" */>}}
{{</* relref "document.md#anchor" */>}}
```
The single parameter to `ref` is a string with a content `documentname` (e.g., `about.md`) with or without an appended in-document `anchor` (`#who`) without spaces. Hugo is flexible in how we search for documents, so the file suffix may be omitted.
**Paths without a leading `/` will first be tried resolved relative to the current page.**
You will get an error if you document could not be uniquely resolved. The error behaviour can be configured, see below.
### Link to another language version
Link to another language version of a document, you need to use this syntax:
```go-html-template
{{</* relref path="document.md" lang="ja" */>}}
```
### Get another Output Format
To link to a given Output Format of a document, you can use this syntax:
```go-html-template
{{</* relref path="document.md" outputFormat="rss" */>}}
```
### Anchors
When an `anchor` is provided by itself, the current pages unique identifier will be appended; when an `anchor` is provided appended to `documentname`, the found page's unique identifier will be appended:
```go-html-template
{{</* relref "#anchors" */>}} => #anchors:9decaf7
```
The above examples render as follows for this very page as well as a reference to the "Content" heading in the Hugo docs features pageyoursite
```go-html-template
{{</* relref "#who" */>}} => #who:9decaf7
{{</* relref "/blog/post.md#who" */>}} => /blog/post/#who:badcafe
```
More information about document unique identifiers and headings can be found [below]({{< ref "#hugo-heading-anchors" >}}).
## Ref and RelRef Configuration
The behaviour can, since Hugo 0.45, be configured in `config.toml`:
refLinksErrorLevel ("ERROR")
: When using `ref` or `relref` to resolve page links and a link cannot resolved, it will be logged with this logg level. Valid values are `ERROR` (default) or `WARNING`. Any `ERROR` will fail the build (`exit -1`).
refLinksNotFoundURL
: URL to be used as a placeholder when a page reference cannot be found in `ref` or `relref`. Is used as-is.
