{{% glossary-term section %}}
[!note] The parent section of a regular page is the current section.
Consider this content structure:
content/
├── auctions/
│ ├── 2023-11/
│ │ ├── _index.md <-- parent: auctions
│ │ ├── auction-1.md
│ │ └── auction-2.md <-- parent: 2023-11
│ ├── 2023-12/
│ │ ├── _index.md
│ │ ├── auction-3.md
│ │ └── auction-4.md
│ ├── _index.md <-- parent: home
│ ├── bidding.md
│ └── payment.md <-- parent: auctions
├── books/
│ ├── _index.md <-- parent: home
│ ├── book-1.md
│ └── book-2.md <-- parent: books
├── films/
│ ├── _index.md <-- parent: home
│ ├── film-1.md
│ └── film-2.md <-- parent: films
└── _index.md <-- parent: nil
In the example above, note the parent section of the home page is nil. Code defensively by verifying existence of the parent section before calling methods on its Page object. To create a link to the parent section page of the current page:
{{ with .Parent }}
<a href="{{ .RelPermalink }}">{{ .LinkTitle }}</a>
{{ end }}
