> [!note]
> To override Hugo's embedded `relref` shortcode, copy the [source code] to a file with the same name in the `layouts/shortcodes` directory.
> [!note]
> When working with Markdown, this shortcode is obsolete. Instead, use a [link render hook] that resolves the link destination using the `GetPage` method on the `Page` object. You can either create your own, or simply enable the [embedded link render hook]. The embedded link render hook is automatically enabled for multilingual single-host projects.
## Usage
The `relref` shortcode accepts either a single positional argument (the path) or one or more named arguments, as listed below.
## Arguments
{{% include "_common/ref-and-relref-options.md" %}}
## Examples
The `relref` shortcode typically provides the destination for a Markdown link.
> [!note]
> Always use [Markdown notation] notation when calling this shortcode.
The following examples show the rendered output for a page on the English version of the site:
```md
[Link A]({{%/* ref "/books/book-1" */%}})
[Link B]({{%/* ref path="/books/book-1" */%}})
[Link C]({{%/* ref path="/books/book-1" lang="de" */%}})
[Link D]({{%/* ref path="/books/book-1" lang="de" outputFormat="json" */%}})
```
Rendered:
```html
<a href="/en/books/book-1/">Link A</a>
<a href="/en/books/book-1/">Link B</a>
<a href="/de/books/book-1/">Link C</a>
<a href="/de/books/book-1/index.json">Link D</a>
```
